tatra tatropasaṅgamya
paurā maṅgala-pāṇayaḥ
cakruḥ saparyāṁ kṛṣṇāya
śreṇī-mukhyā hatainasaḥ

tatra tatra — in various places; upasaṅgamya — approaching; paurāḥ — citizens of the city; maṅgala — auspicious offerings; pāṇayaḥ — in their hands; cakruḥ — performed; saparyām — worship; kṛṣṇāya — for Lord Kṛṣṇa; śreṇī — of occupational guilds; mukhyāḥ — the leaders; hata — eradicated; enasaḥ — whose sins.

In various places citizens of the city came forward holding auspicious offerings for Lord Kṛṣṇa, and sinless leaders of occupational guilds came forward to worship the Lord.

Śrīla Prabhupāda writes: “While Lord Kṛṣṇa was thus passing on the road, at intervals some of the citizens, who were all rich, respectable and freed from sinful activities, presented auspicious articles to the Lord, just to offer Him a reception to the city. Thus they worshiped Him as humble servitors.”
