gopīnāṃ bhakti-mahimā
vaktuṃ śakyo na vedhasā
tat-sutena śūkenāpi

gopīnām—of the gopis; bhakti—of the devotional service; mahimā—the glory; vaktum—to be spoken; śakyaḥ—is able; na—not; vedhaśa—by Lord Brahmā; tat-sutena—by Brahmā's son (Nārada Muni); śukena—by Śukadeva Gosvāmī; api—and; ke—who are?; vayam—we; jaḍa—stunted; buddhayaḥ—with intelligence;
