Dhṛta Vana Maly Avataṁsa Lasad Vana Veśa Tatir Bala Saṅgī

Wearing a forest-flower garland, crown, and other splendid ornaments from the forest, accompanied by Balarāma, and happily playing the flute, Kṛṣṇa leads the surabhi cows to the slope of Govardhana Hill.

Eclipsing a host of monsoon clouds, Kṛṣṇa enchants the world, attracts it, and showers happiness on it. His cooling shade delights His cowherd friends.

Friendly because his own splendor was eclipsed, the raincloud showered flowers on Kṛṣṇa. He did not directly approach, but stayed overhead like a parasol.
