The gopis were not worried that Krsna may be harmed by Kamsa. That is not why they were distressed. They knew that Krsna’s heart was very soft and that as soon as Vasudeva and Devaki saw Krsna they would offer their affection and prayers to Him and not allow Him to ever return. They knew this would come to pass.
 
The gopis continued, “O Providence, although You have come here with the name Akrura, You are actually cruel (krura). It seems You have lost all sense, for You are taking away what You once gave us. You are depriving us of the sole meaning to our eyes’ existence. You are suggesting to us to look at anything other than Krsna.
“This destroyer (Akrura) has come and done his work in mere moments. In just a second he has stolen our life away from us. Tomorrow morning our lives will be devoid of meaning. The songs, sweet words, and dancing of Mathura’s girls will arrest Krsna and keep Him their forever.”
[Quote from a text and PDF file of recently compiled lectures titled, "The Life of the Vrajavasis' Departs" available on patreon.com/bhaktabandhav. When speaking on the chapters of the Bhagavatam where Krsna leaves Vrndavan, Prabhuji became ill for some days. This regularly happens whenever he speaks on the pastimes of Krsna and the Vrajavasis’ separation. The following text is from that hari-katha spoken in July, 2017.]
