uvÄsa - he resided; katicit - for some; mÄsÄn - months; gopÄ«nÄm - of the cowherd girls; vinudan - dispelling; Å›ucaḥ - the unhappiness; kṛṣṇa-lÄ«lÄ - of the pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa; kathÄm - the topics; gÄyan - singing; ramayÄm Äsa - he gave joy; gokulam - to Gokula.
Uddhava remained there for several months, dispelling the gopīs’ sorrow by chanting the topics of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes. Thus he brought joy to all the people of Gokula.
The great ÄcÄrya JÄ«va GosvÄmÄ« comments in this regard that Uddhava, during his stay in Vá¹›ndÄvana, certainly took special care to enliven Kṛṣṇa’s foster parents, Nanda and YaÅ›odÄ.
