karmibhyaḥ parito hareḥ priyatayā vyaktiṁ yayur jñāninas
tebhyo jñāna-vimukta-bhakti-paramāḥ premaika-niṣṭhās tataḥ
tebhyas tāḥ paśu-pāla-paṅkaja-dṛśas tābhyo ’pi sā rādhikā
preṣṭhā tadvad iyaṁ tadīya-sarasī tāṁ nāśrayet kaḥ kṛtī

More dear to Krishna, in all respects, than performers of pious deeds are knowers of Brahman, more dear than them are devotees completely free from knowledge of Brahman, more dear than them are devotees fixed exclusively in divine love, more dear than them are the gopis, and more dear than them is Sri Radhika. Her lake is similarly dear to Krishna. What fortunate soul would not take shelter there?

Bhasya by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur

chid-anvesi jnani jada-karmi ha-ite srestha
jnani-chara bhakta tad apeksa krsna-prestha [1]

Jnanis who seek spirit are higher than those who are engaged in material activities. Devotees who are free from jnan are more dear to Krishna than them.

prema-nistha bhakta tad apeksa sreṣtha jani
gopi-gane tad apeksa srestha bali’ mani [2]

We know that devotees fixed in divine love are higher than them, and we consider the gopis higher than all other devotees.

sarva-gopi srestha radha krsna-prestha sada
ta̐hara sarasi nitya krsnera pritida [3]

Sri Radha is the highest of all the gopis. She is forever Krishna’s favourite, and Her lake always pleases Krishna.

e hena premera sthana govardhana-tate
asraya na kare keba krti niskapate [4]

What fortunate soul would not take shelter in that abode of divine love at the base of Govardhan Hill with all sincerity?

Piyusa-varsini-vrtti by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur

Devotees who reside on the bank of Radha Kunda are higher and more dear to Krishna than all other types of practitioners that exist throughout the world. This is being shown in the tenth verse. Jnanis who seek spirit are more dear to Krishna than all types of karmis. Devotees who are free from jnan are more dear to Krishna than all types of jnanis. Amongst all types of devotees, devotees fixed in divine love are most dear to Krishna. Amongst all such devotees, the Vraja-gopis are extremely dear to Krishna, and amongst all the gopis, Sri Radhika is the most dear. As Radhika is dear to Krishna, so Her lake is also most dear to Him. Therefore, those who have great spiritual fortune will reside at Sri Radha Kunda and serve Sri Krishna during the eight periods of the day.
