iti - thus; nanda-vacaḥ - the words of Nanda MahÄrÄja; Å›rutvÄ - hearing; garga-gÄ«tam - the statements of Garga Ṛṣi; vraja-okasaḥ - the residents of Vraja; muditÄḥ - enlivened; nandam - Nanda MahÄrÄja; Änarcuḥ - they honored; kṛṣṇam - Lord Kṛṣṇa; ca - and; gata - gone; vismayÄḥ - their perplexity.
[Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« continued:] Having heard Nanda MahÄrÄja relate the statements of Garga Muni, the residents of Vá¹›ndÄvana became enlivened. Their perplexity was gone, and they worshiped Nanda and Lord Kṛṣṇa with great respect.
ÅšrÄ«la JÄ«va GosvÄmÄ« explains that in this verse the word Änarcuḥ indicates that the residents of Vá¹›ndÄvana honored Nanda and Kṛṣṇa with such offerings as fragrances, garlands and garments brought from their homes. ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« ṬhÄkura adds that the residents of Vá¹›ndÄvana honored Nanda and Kṛṣṇa with loving offerings of jewels and gold coins. Apparently, Lord Kṛṣṇa was playing in the forest when this conversation took place, so when He returned home the residents of Vá¹›ndÄvana encouraged Him by decorating Him with beautiful yellow garments, necklaces, armlets, earrings and crowns, and by shouting, “All glories, all glories to the jewel of Vá¹›ndÄvana!â€
