atha -- some time later; gopaih -- by the cowherd boys; parivritah -- surrounded; bhagavan -- the Supreme Lord; devaki-sutah -- the son of Devaki; vrindavanat -- from Vrindavana; gatah -- He went; duram -- a distance; carayan -- grazing; gah -- the cows; saha-agrajah -- together with His brother Balarama.
Some time later Lord Krishna, the son of Devaki, surrounded by His cowherd friends and accompanied by His elder brother, Balarama, went a good distance away from Vrindavana, herding the cows.
Having described how Lord Krishna stole the garments of the young gopis, Sukadeva Gosvami now begins introducing the description of Lord Krishna's blessings upon the wives of some ritualistic brahmanas.
