On "gopāla-raghunāthāpta-vraja-vallabha": "O beloved of the excellent cowherd settlement, the settlement reached by those who are celebrated in songs as the humble (laghu) and the chiefs (nātha) among the cowherds!" Or, "laghu means dear to the cowherds, and he who is also their protector (nātha)"—an address to him, with the meaning derived from the homonymic dictionary: "laghu is used for the dear, the small, and the light." On "āptavrajavallabha": "O beloved of the multitudes of your own kin who have attained you! O you of virtuous splendor, unobtainable by outsiders!"
