cabutarā-upare - on the raised platform; yata - all; prabhura nija-gaṇe - very intimate associates of the Lord; baḍa baḍa loka - big, big people; vasilā - sat down; maṇḍalī-racane - in a circle.

On that platform, all the most important associates of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, as well as other important men, sat down in a circle around the Lord.
