ity adri-go-dvija-makhaṁ
vāsudeva-pracoditāḥ
yathā vidhāya te gopā
saha-kṛṣṇā vrajaṁ yayuḥ

Word by word

iti — in this manner; adri — to Govardhana Hill; go — the cows; dvija — and the brāhmaṇas; makham — the great sacrifice; vāsudeva — by Lord Kṛṣṇa; pracoditāḥ — urged; yathā — properly; vidhāya — executing; te — they; gopāḥ — the cowherds; saha-kṛṣṇāḥ — together with Lord Kṛṣṇa; vrajam — to Vraja; yayuḥ — they went.

Translation

The members of the cowherd community, having thus been inspired by Lord Vāsudeva to properly execute the sacrifice to Govardhana Hill, the cows and the brāhmaṇas, returned with Lord Kṛṣṇa to their village, Vraja.

Purport

Although the Govardhana-pūjā was performed in a blissful and successful way, the matter was hardly finished. Lord Indra is, after all, tremendously powerful, and he received the news of the Govardhana sacrifice with burning anger. What ensued will be described in the following chapter.

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Twenty-fourth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Worshiping Govardhana Hill.”
