śrī-śuka uvāca
evaṁ samprārthito vipraḥ
sva-cikīrṣitam eva tat
cakāra nāma-karaṇaṁ
gūḍho rahasi bālayoḥ
śrī-śukaḥ uvāca — Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; evam — in this way; samprārthitaḥ — being eagerly requested; vipraḥ — the brāhmaṇa Garga Muni; sva-cikīrṣitam eva — which he already desired to do and for which he had gone there; tat — that; cakāra — performed; nāma-karaṇam — the name-giving ceremony; gūḍhaḥ — confidentially; rahasi — in a secluded place; bālayoḥ — of the two boys (Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma).
Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: Having thus been especially requested by Nanda Mahārāja to do that which he already desired to do, Garga Muni performed the name-giving ceremony for Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma in a solitary place.
