TRANSLATION
Certainly Krishna sat down here with His girlfriend to arrange Her hair. The lusty boy must have made a crown for that lusty girl out of the flowers He had collected.
PURPORT
The ācāryas explain that Śrī Krishna wanted to decorate Rādhārānī's hair with the forest flowers He had collected. Therefore They sat down together facing the same direction, with Rādhārānī between Krishna's knees, and Krishna proceeded to arrange Her hair with flowers and make a flower crown for Her, coronating Her as the goddess of the forest. Thus the romantic young boy and girl played and joked together in Vrindāvana.
