RMdd said; "...Of course He likes Chandravali too, but the left wing gopi known as Srimate Radharani has Him wrapped around Her little finger and Sri Krishna stole Srimate Radharani's mood to taste the Highest manifestation of Radhabhava in His form of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. "The left wing and right wing of the gopis has been explained by Rupa Gosvami in his Ujjvala-nilamani. The left wing is described in this way:
mana-grahe sadodyukta tac-chaithilye ca kopana
abhedya nayake prayah krura vameti kirtyate
"A gopi who is always eager to be jealously angered, who is very enthusiastic for that position, who immediately becomes angry when defeated, who is never under the control of a hero, and who always opposes Him is called a vama, or a left-wing gopi."
Srila Rupa Gosvami describes the right-wing gopis in this way:
asahya mana-nirbandhe nayake yukta-vadini
samabhis tena bhedya ca dakshina parikirtita
"A gopi who cannot tolerate womanly anger, who speaks suitable words to the hero, and who is satisfied by His sweet words is called a dakshina, or a right-wing gopi."
