Caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya-līlā Chapter 8 Text 215 sahaja gopīra prema, — nahe prākṛta kāma kāma-krīḍā-sāmye tāra kahi ‘kāma’-nāma   TRANSLATION “It is to be noted that the natural characteristic of the gopīs is to love the Supreme Lord. Their lusty desire is not to be compared to material lust. Nonetheless, because their desire sometimes appears to resemble material lust, their transcendental love for Kṛṣṇa is sometimes described as lust.
