English translation of verse 5.17.20:
The thirty-two gopi friends said: With love one makes a friend into a submissive servant. With superior logic one makes a friend into a submissive servant. With money one makes a greedy miser into a submissive servant. With worship and honor one makes a brahmana into a submissive servant. With bowing down again and again one makes a guru into a submissive servant. With beautiful things sweet as nectar one makes a person searching after nectar into a submissive servant. With what does one make a person who can never be bewildered into a submissive servant?
