English translation of verses 2.24.48-49:
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, whom the materialistic philosophers cannot enjoy as the working senses cannot enjoy the objects of the knowledge-acquiring senses, and who, being beyond the modes of material nature, cannot be seen by the people in genaral, went to save Haṃsa Muni from great troubles in the great ocean. Now Lord Kṛṣṇa has become the king of the rāsa dance. Now He is enjoying a rāsa dance with many gopīs in Vṛndāvana forest.
