Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.6.31-32:

अहं श्री-वसुदेवेन समानीता ततो यदा ।
यशोदाया महार्तायास् तदानीन्तन-रोदनैः ॥ ३१ ॥
ग्रावोऽपि रोदित्य् अशनेर् अप्य् अन्तर् दलति ध्रुवम् ।
जीवन्-मृतानाम् अन्यासां वार्तां कोऽपि मुखं नयेत् ॥ ३२ ॥

ahaṃ śrī-vasudevena samānītā tato yadā |
yaśodāyā mahārtāyās tadānīntana-rodanaiḥ || 31 ||
grāvo'pi rodity aśaner apy antar dalati dhruvam |
jīvan-mṛtānām anyāsāṃ vārtāṃ ko'pi mukhaṃ nayet || 32 ||

When Śrī Vasudeva brought me to Vraja, I then heard of Śrī Yaśodā’s dreadful lament. At that time, firm stones began to weep and thunderbolts shattered to pieces. Who can explain in words whether the other gopīs were dead or alive?

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

When the honorable Śrī Vasudeva brought me from Gokula, upon hearing the pathetic weeping of the despondent Śrī Yaśodājī, even hard stones began to weep. Thunderbolts that are harder than stones shattered to pieces. Only the heart of a person harder than a rock or a thunderbolt would not melt. Who can describe the condition of the gopīs such as Śrī Rādhā? In other words, whether man or woman, no one can describe by mouth the condition of separation. I cannot say whether they are dead or alive at this moment.
