sri-bhagavan uvaca -- the Supreme Personality of Godhead said; su-agatam -- welcome; vah -- to you; maha-bhagah -- O most fortunate ladies; priyam -- pleasing; kim -- what; karavani -- may I do; vah -- for you; vrajasya -- of Vraja; anamayam -- the well-being; kaccit -- whether; bruta -- please tell; agamana -- for your coming; karanam -- the reason.
Lord Krishna said: O most fortunate ladies, welcome. What may I do to please you? Is everything well in Vraja? Please tell Me the reason for your coming here.
Lord Krishna knew perfectly well why the gopis had come. In fact, He had called them with the romantic melodies of His flute. So Krishna was simply teasing the gopis by asking them, "Why have you come here so quickly? Is something wrong in town? Why have you come here, anyway? What do you want?"
The gopis were Krishna's young lovers, and therefore these questions certainly bewildered them, for they had responded to Krishna's call with the simple mentality of enjoying conjugal love with Him.
