atha — some time later; gopaiḥ — by the cowherd boys; parivṛtaḥ — surrounded; bhagavān — the Supreme Lord; devakī-sutaḥ — the son of Devakī; vṛndāvanāt — from Vṛndāvana; gataḥ — He went; dūram — a distance; cārayan — grazing; gāḥ — the cows; saha-agrajaḥ — together with His brother Balarāma.
Some time later Lord Kṛṣṇa, the son of Devakī, surrounded by His cowherd friends and accompanied by His elder brother, Balarāma, went a good distance away from Vṛndāvana, herding the cows.
Having described how Lord Kṛṣṇa stole the garments of the young gopīs, Śukadeva Gosvāmī now begins introducing the description of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s blessings upon the wives of some ritualistic brāhmaṇas.
