Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.6.92:

त्वत्-प्राप्तयेऽथ संन्यस्त-समस्त-विषयाश्रयाः ।
प्रापुर् यादृग् अवस्थां ते तां पृच्छैतं निजाग्रजम् ॥ ९२ ॥

tvat-prāptaye'tha saṃnyasta-samasta-viṣayāśrayāḥ |
prāpur yādṛg avasthāṃ te tāṃ pṛcchaitaṃ nijāgrajam || 92 ||

Those vraja-vāsīs have forsaken all pleasing objects to obtain You. You should ask Your elder brother, Śrī Baladevajī, about their pitiful condition.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Still, You did not go to Vraja, rather You requested

Your elder brother to go there. Due to that, the condition of those vrajavāsīs became so pitiful that I cannot describe it. You should ask about that matter from Your brother, Śrī Baladevajī. Especially after my return, those vraja-vāsīs have abandoned any remaining hope of obtaining you and have became almost lifeless, that is, they have given up all sense enjoyment and have reached a lamentable condition (dayanīya). Here “all sense objects” (samasta-viṣaya) means having given up all the objects of sense enjoyment, having even abandoned their homes, the shelter of those objects of sense enjoyment. Just to take darśana of the pastime places of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, they constantly reside in the forest. The pastime of Śrī Baladevajī’s visit to Gokula depicts this, kṛṣṇe kamalapatrākṣe sannyastākhila-rādhasaḥ: “They had dedicated all their senses to the lotus-eyed Śrī Kṛṣṇa…” (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam or Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.65.6)

To get Śrī Kṛṣṇa they have abandoned all objects of sense gratification. Nevertheless, when Śrī Uddhava came to Gokula before this, at that time Śrī Rādhikā and the other gopīs were not in such a situation. Decorated with ornaments, they seemed happy because they had strong faith in the assurance of Śrī Nanda Mahārāja.

Therefore, the Tenth Canto states in the event of the arrival of Śrī Uddhava in Vraja (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam or Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.46.45, 46):

ता दीप-दीप्तैर् मणिभिर् विरेजू, रज्जूर्-विकर्षद्-भुज-कङ्कण-स्रजः
चलन्-नितम्ब-स्तन-हार-कुण्डल-त्विषत्-कपोलारुण-कुङ्कुमाननाः
उद्गायतीनाम् अरविन्द-लोचनं, व्रजाङ्गनानां दिवम् अस्पृशद् ध्वनिः
दध्नश् च निर्मन्थन-शब्द-मिश्रितो निरस्यते येन दिशाम् अमङ्गलम्

tā dīpa-dīptair maṇibhir virejū, rajjūr-vikarṣad-bhuja-kaṅkaṇa-srajaḥ
calan-nitamba-stana-hāra-kuṇḍala-tviṣat-kapolāruṇa-kuṅkumānanāḥ
udgāyatīnām aravinda-locanaṃ, vrajāṅganānāṃ divam aspṛśad dhvaniḥ
dadhnaś ca nirmanthana-śabda-miśrito nirasyate yena diśām amaṅgalam

“The gopīs had lit up the lamps at the end of night and were churning yogurt. Their faces had the smear of red-colored, vermilion powder, and their cheeks were radiant from the effulgence of their earrings. The light of the lamps was reflecting upon their jewel-studded waistbelts, making them more radiant. The gopīs were churning yogurt with the arms ornamented with the bangles and bracelets; their hips, breasts, garlands and so on were shaking, and they looked extremely beautiful due to that.

“All those beautiful women of Vraja sang songs addressing Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and the sound of their songs mixed with the sound of the churning of the yogurt spread everywhere in the sky, and by that sound all inauspiciousness in every direction was destroyed.”

Otherwise, at the time of that distress, such words about the vrajagopīs are impossible. However, now due to the message sent through me (Śrī Uddhava) even the last remaining thread of hope was shattered. Therefore, they are even more despondent than before. You should ask all these things from Your elder brother, Śrī Baladevajī. He is directly present here and personally saw and experienced the condition of those vraja-vāsīs, that is, if You have no faith in my words, then You should have faith in the words of Your elder brother.
