śrī-śuka uvāca

śrī-śukaḥ uvāca — Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; nandaḥ — Nanda Mahārāja; tatra — there; yadūn — the Yadus; prāptān — arrived; jñātvā — finding out; kṛṣṇa — Lord Kṛṣṇa; puraḥ-gamān — keeping in front; tatra — there; agamat — he went; vṛtaḥ — accompanied; gopaiḥ — by the cowherds; anaḥ — on their wagons; stha — placed; arthaiḥ — whose possessions; didṛkṣayā — wanting to see.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: When Nanda Mahārāja learned that the Yadus had arrived, led by Kṛṣṇa, he immediately went to see them. The cowherds accompanied him, their various possessions loaded on their wagons.
The cowherds of Vraja were planning to stay at Kurukṣetra for some days, so they came equipped with adequate provisions, especially milk products and other foods for the pleasure of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma.
