TRANSLATION

Observing the very attractive childish restlessness of Krsna, all the gopis in the neighborhood, to hear about Krsna's activities again and again, would approach Mother Yasoda and speak to her as follows.

PURPORT

Krsna's activities are always very attractive to devotees. Therefore the neighbors, who were friends of Mother Yasoda, informed Mother Yasoda of whatever they saw Krsna doing in the neighborhood. Mother Yasoda, just to hear about the activities of her son, stopped her household duties and enjoyed the information given by the neighborhood friends.
