kṛṣṇa-rÄmau - Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma; pariá¹£vajya - embracing; pitarau - Their parents; abhivÄdya - offering respects; ca - and; na kiñcana - nothing; Å«catuḥ - said; premá¹‡Ä - with love; sa-aÅ›ru - full of tears; kaṇá¹hau - whose throats; kuru-udvaha - O most heroic of the Kurus.
O hero of the Kurus, Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma embraced Their foster parents and bowed down to them, but Their throats were so choked up with tears of love that the two Lords could say nothing.
After a long separation, a respectful child should first offer obeisances to his parents. Nanda and YaÅ›odÄ gave their sons no opportunity for this, however, for as soon as they saw Them they embraced Them. Only then could Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma offer Their proper respects.
