tataḥ - thereafter; tu - but; bhagavÄn - the Supreme Personality of Godhead; kṛṣṇaḥ - Lord Kṛṣṇa; vayasyaiḥ - with Their playmates; vraja-bÄlakaiḥ - with other small children in Vraja; saha-rÄmaḥ - along with BalarÄma; vraja-strīṇÄm - of all the ladies of Vraja; cikrÄ«á¸e - played very happily; janayan - awakening; mudam - transcendental bliss.
Thereafter, Lord Kṛṣṇa, along with BalarÄma, began to play with the other children of the cowherd men, thus awakening the transcendental bliss of the cowherd women.
The word saha-rÄmaḥ, meaning “along with BalarÄma,†is significant in this verse. In such transcendental pastimes, Kṛṣṇa is the chief hero, and BalarÄma provides additional help.
