TRANSLATION
As the gopīs sang His praises, that leader of hundreds of women sang loudly in reply. He moved among them, wearing His Vaijayantī garland, beautifying the Vṛndāvana forest.
PURPORT
According to Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, Lord Kṛṣṇa sang many wonderful melodies and meters, and the gopīs accompanied Him, following His lead. Kṛṣṇa's singing on this occasion is described in the Śrī Viṣṇu Purāṇa:
- kṛṣṇaḥ śarac-candramasaṁ
- kaumudīṁ kumudākaram
- jagau gopī-janas tv ekaṁ
- kṛṣṇa-nāma punaḥ punaḥ
"Kṛṣṇa sang the glories of the autumn moon, the moonshine and the lotus-filled river, while the gopīs simply sang His name repeatedly."
