Sanskrit:

श्रीशुक उवाचभगवानपि तत्रैव बलदेवेन संयुत: । अपश्यन्निवसन्गोपानिन्द्रयागकृतोद्यमान् ॥ १ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-śuka uvācabhagavān api tatraivabaladevena saṁyutaḥapaśyan nivasan gopānindra-yāga-kṛtodyamān

Translation:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: While staying in that very place with His brother Baladeva, Lord Kṛṣṇa happened to see the cowherd men busily arranging for a sacrifice to Indra.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī and other ācāryas, the words tatra eva in this verse indicate that Lord Kṛṣṇa stayed in the village of the brāhmaṇas whose wives had satisfied Him by their devotion. Thus He gave His mercy to those brāhmaṇas as well as to their chaste wives, who had no one to associate with except their husbands. In that place the cowherd men, headed by Lord Kṛṣṇa’s father, Nanda Mahārāja, were somehow or other preparing an elaborate sacrifice to Lord Indra, and Lord Kṛṣṇa reacted as follows.
