avadyanta-vibrated in celebration of Vasudeva's son; vicitrani-various; vaditrani-musical instruments; maha-utsave-in the great festival; krsne-when Lord Krsna; visva-isvare-the master of the entire cosmic manifestation; anante-unlimitedly; nandasya-of Maharaja Nanda; vrajam-at the pasturing place; agate-had so arrived.

TRANSLATION

Now that the all-pervading, unlimited Lord Krsna, the master of the cosmic manifestation, had arrived within the estate of Maharaja Nanda, various types of musical instruments resounded to celebrate the great festival.

PURPORT

The Lord says in Bhagavad-gita (4.7):

yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srjamy aham

"Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion-at that time I descend Myself." Whenever Krsna comes, once in a day of Brahma, He comes to the house of Nanda Maharaja in Vrndavana. Krsna is the master of all creation (sarva-loka-mahesvaram). Therefore, not only in the neighborhood of Nanda Maharaja's estate, but all over the universe-and in all the other universes-musical sounds celebrated the auspicious arrival of the Lord.
