gopān vayasyān ākṛṣya
taiḥ saḿsṛjya vijahratuḥ
vādyamāneṣu tūryeṣu
valgantau ruta-nūpurau
gopan -- the cowherd boys; vayasyan -- Their young friends; akrishya -- gathering together; taih -- with them; samsrijya -- joining up; vijahratuh -- They sported; vadyamaneshu -- while they played; turyeshu -- the musical instruments; valgantau -- the two of Them dancing about; ruta -- resounding; nupurau -- Their ankle bells.
Krishna and Balarama then called Their young cowherd boyfriends to join Them, and in their company the Lords danced about and sported, Their ankle bells resounding as musical instruments played.
Nowadays we see that in championship boxing matches, as soon as there is a victory, all the friends and relatives of the victorious boxer rush into the ring to congratulate him, and often the champion will dance about in great happiness. Exactly in this mood, Krishna and Balarama danced about, celebrating Their victory with Their friends and relatives.
