यथाव्रजार्भकाकारो गोगोपीस्तन्यपः सुखी ।चिराद्बलोहितो दान्तो ब्रह्मविज्ञातवैभवः॥
yathāvrajārbhakākāro gogopīstanyapaḥ sukhī ·cirādbalohito dānto brahmavijñātavaibhavaḥ
taking the exact shape of every boy of Vraja
'In the exact form of the Vraja boys' — even the smallest physical detail of each cowherd boy is reproduced perfectly by Kṛṣṇa; he is each of them in every characteristic.
who, as the calves and boys, drank the milk of the cows and the gopīs
'Drinker of the milk of cows and gopīs' — during the Brahma-vimohana year, Kṛṣṇa-as-each-cowherd drinks each mother's milk and each cow's milk; the mothers' love for the substituted child is even greater than for the original.
content, at ease
'Happy / blissful' — Kṛṣṇa's nature is supreme bliss; Brahmā in his hymn marvels that the Lord can be perpetually sukhī while engaged in the trying business of cosmic governance.
[reading uncertain]
the transmitted text is corrupt here; most plausibly cirād-avalokitaḥ, "beheld by Brahmā after a long while" (the bewilderment lasted a year), an easy h/k copyist's slip
'Greatly delighted after a long time' — when Brahmā returns from his time-trip and sees the boys all there as if nothing happened, his confusion at being deceived is matched by Kṛṣṇa's amused satisfaction.
the self-possessed
'Self-controlled' — even amid the elaborate Brahma-vimohana with all his manifestations, Kṛṣṇa remains perfectly self-controlled; not a hint of either pride or distress crosses his face.
whose glory Brahmā came to know
recurs from v.55
'Whose glory Brahmā has known' — only after Brahmā's own confusion does he recognize the vaibhava (cosmic glory) of Kṛṣṇa; he then sings his hundred-verse hymn of recognition.
