śrī-śuka uvāca

evaṁ samprārthito vipraḥ

sva-cikīrṣitam eva tat

cakāra nāma-karaṇaṁ

gūḍho rahasi bālayoḥ
śrī-śukaḥ uvāca-Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; evam-in this way; samprārthitaḥ-being eagerly requested; vipraḥ-the brāhmaṇa Gargamuni; sva-cikīrṣitam eva-which he already desired to do and for which he had gone there; tat-that; cakāra-performed; nāma-karaṇam-the name-giving ceremony; gūḍhaḥ-confidentially; rahasi-in a secluded place; bālayoḥ-of the two boys (Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma).





Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: Having thus been especially requested by Nanda Mahārāja to do that which he already desired to do, Gargamuni performed the name-giving ceremony for Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma in a solitary place.
