Offering him gifts like offering a lamp to the sun, faces blossoming in affection, they began to speak with words choked up with joy to Kṛṣṇa, who is always satisfied with his own qualities, who is satisfied with himself, and who is always their friend and protector, like a father protecting his children.
They offered gifts (upanitah balayah), which were given out of adoration, though he did not need them, just like a sun worshipper offers a lamp to the sun. They spoke to Krsna who was their protector, like a father protecting children. Atmaramam (self-satisfied) indicates that he was not dependent on the gifts.
