SYNONYMS

vraje—in Vṛndāvana; gopa-bhāva—emotion of a cowherd boy; rāmera—of Balarāma; pure—in Dvārakā; kṣatriya-bhāvana—the emotion of a kṣatriya; varṇa-veśa-bheda—by differences of dress and color; tāte—therefore; vilāsa—pastime expansion; tāṅra nāma—His name.

TRANSLATION

“Balarāma, who has the same original form as Kṛṣṇa, is Himself a cowherd boy in Vṛndāvana, and He also considers Himself a member of the kṣatriya race in Dvārakā. Thus His color and dress are different, and He is called a pastime form of Kṛṣṇa.
