TRANSLATION

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: As dawn approached, the wives of Lord Mādhava, each embraced around the neck by her husband, cursed the crowing roosters. The ladies were disturbed that now they would be separated from Him.


PURPORT

This description of Lord Kṛṣṇa's daily activities starts with the crowing of the rooster. Lord Kṛṣṇa's wives knew that the Lord would dutifully get up and perform His prescribed morning rituals, and thus they were agitated at their coming separation from Him and cursed the roosters.
