yo līlā-lava-mātrakena jagatāṃ sraṣṭāvitā hiṃsitā 
   vedaiḥ sopaniṣadbhir eva ya iha prastūyate sarvataḥ
so 'yaṃ gokula-nāgarā-parivṛḍho vṛndāvanābhyantare 
  pūrṇānanda-mahodadhir vijayate niḥsīma-līlāmayaḥ

yaḥ—who; līlā—of the pastimes; lava—a tiny fraction; mātṛakena—by only; jagatām—of the universes; sraṣṭā—creation; vitā—maintainance; hiṃsitā—and annihilation; vedaiḥ—by the Vedas; sa—with; upaniṣadbhiḥ—the Upaniṣads; eva—certainly; yaḥ—who; iha—here; prastūyate—glorified; sarvataḥ—everywhere; saḥ ayam—that very same person; gokula—of Gokula; nāgarī—of the beautiful gopīs; parivṛḍhaḥ—the Lord; vṛndāvana—Vṛndāvana; abhyantare—within; pūrṇa—complete; ānanda—of trancendental bliss; mahā—great; udadhiḥ—ocean; vijayate—all glories; niḥsīma—boundless; līlā—pastimes; mayaḥ—possessing.

That Supreme Person is glorified throughout the Vedas and Upaniṣads, and the creation, maintainance, and destruction of the material universes are only a small fraction of His unlimited pastimes. All glories to that Supreme Lord, who is an ocean of perfect transcendental bliss, and who, within the forest of Vṛndāvana, is the Lord and hero of the gopīs.
