Prabhupāda:

[break] kuñja-vihārī gopī-jana-vallabha giri-vara-dhārī yasoda-nandana braja-jana-rañjana yamunā-tīra-vana-cārī

[Kṛṣṅa is the lover of Rādhā. He displays many amorous pastimes in the groves of Vṛndāvana. He is the lover of the cowherd maidens of Vraja, the lifter of the great hill named Govardhana, the beloved son of Mother Yaśodā, the delighter of the inhabitants of Vraja, and He wanders in the forests along the banks of the river Yamunā.]
