TRANSLATION

Yasoda-dulala, Govinda-Gopala. Yasoda-dulala means pet son of Mother Yasoda. Govinda-Gopala. And He's cowherd's boy—Govinda, giving pleasure to the cows. Vrndavana-purandara—the chief of the Vrndavana land. He's the center of attraction for everyone in Vrndavana. Gopi-priya-jana. He's very favorable to the gopis—Gopi-priya. Radhika-ramana, and He's always enjoying the company of Radharani, therefore His name is Radhika-ramana. Bhuvana-sundara-bara. So, He attracted so many gopis. That means He's attractive to the whole universe. Nobody is more attractive than Krsna within this universe—or within anywhere. Therefore He's called Bhuvana- sundara-bara. "Bara" means the chief.
