pitarāv abhivādya ca
na kiñcanocatuḥ premṇā
sāśru-kaṇṭhau kurūdvaha
krishna-ramau -- Krishna and Balarama; parishvajya -- embracing; pitarau -- Their parents; abhivadya -- offering respects; ca -- and; na kincana -- nothing; ucatuh -- said; premna -- with love; sa-asru -- full of tears; kanthau -- whose throats; kuru-udvaha -- O most heroic of the Kurus.
O hero of the Kurus, Krishna and Balarama embraced Their foster parents and bowed down to them, but Their throats were so choked up with tears of love that the two Lords could say nothing.
After a long separation, a respectful child should first offer obeisances to his parents. Nanda and Yasoda gave their sons no opportunity for this, however, for as soon as they saw Them they embraced Them. Only then could Krishna and Balarama offer Their proper respects.
