Nanda MahÄrÄja, the King of Vraja, is now waiting to eat. O my dear son BalarÄma, he is waiting for You. Therefore, come back to please us. All the boys playing with You and Kṛṣṇa should now go to their homes.
It appears that Nanda MahÄrÄja regularly took his food with his two sons, Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma. YaÅ›odÄ told the other boys, “Now you should go to your homes.†Father and son generally sit together, so mother YaÅ›odÄ requested Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma to return, and she advised the other boys to go home so that their parents would not have to wait for them.
