TRANSLATION

Lord Krishna, the son of the King of Vraja, is the Supreme Lord. He eternally enjoys transcendental pastimes in His eternal abode, Goloka, which includes Vrajadhāma.

PURPORT

In the previous chapter it has been established that Krishna, the son of Vrajendra (the King of Vraja), is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, with six opulences. He eternally enjoys transcendentally variegated opulences on His planet, which is known as Goloka. The eternal pastimes of the Lord in the spiritual planet Krishnaloka are called aprakata, or unmanifested, pastimes because they are beyond the purview of the conditioned souls. Lord Krishna is always present everywhere, but when He is not present before our eyes, He is said to be aprakata, or unmanifested.
