śrī-śuka uvāca
govardhane dhṛte śaile
āsārād rakṣite vraje
go-lokād āvrajat kṛṣṇaḿ
surabhiḥ śakra eva ca
sri-sukah uvaca -- Sri Sukadeva Gosvami said; govardhane -- Govardhana; dhrite -- having been held; saile -- the hill; asarat -- from the rainfall; rakshite -- having been protected; vraje -- Vraja; go-lokat -- from the planet of the cows; avrajat -- came; krishnam -- to Krishna; surabhih -- mother Surabhi; sakrah -- Indra; eva -- also; ca -- and.
Sukadeva Gosvami said: After Krishna had lifted Govardhana Hill and thus protected the inhabitants of Vraja from the terrible rainfall, Surabhi, the mother of the cows, came from her planet to see Krishna. She was accompanied by Indra.
The word go-lokat here indicates the material planet called Goloka which is filled with exceptional cows. Surabhi went joyfully to see Lord Krishna, but Indra went fearfully. As indicated by this verse, Lord Krishna had to adopt extraordinary measures to protect His Vrindavana associates from Indra's obnoxious and offensive attack. Certainly Indra was ashamed, and also nervous about his future. Having acted improperly, he had fearfully gone to seek the shelter of Lord Brahma, who then ordered him to take along Surabhi from the material Goloka planet and go to see Krishna.
