vraje -- in Vrindavana; vikridatoh -- while the two of Them were sporting; evam -- in this way; gopala -- as cowherd boys; chadma -- of the disguise; mayaya -- by the illusion; grishmah -- summer; nama -- thus designated; rituh -- the season; abhavat -- came about; na -- not; ati-preyan -- very much favored; saririnam -- by embodied beings.
While Krishna and Balarama were thus enjoying life in Vrindavana in the guise of ordinary cowherd boys, the summer season gradually appeared. This season is not very pleasing to embodied souls.
In Volume One, Chapter Eighteen, of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Srila Prabhupada comments as follows: "The summer season in India is not very much welcomed because of the excessive heat, but in Vrindavana everyone was pleased because summer there appeared just like spring."
