TRANSLATION

Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: After Gargamuni, having instructed Nanda Mahārāja about Krishna, departed for his own home, Nanda Mahārāja was very pleased and considered himself full of all good fortune.

PURPORT

Krishna is the Supersoul, and Nanda Mahārāja is the individual soul. By the instructions of Gargamuni, both of them were blessed. Nanda Mahārāja was thinking of Krishna's safety from the hands of demons like Pūtanā and Śakatāsura, and because he possessed such a son, he thought of himself as most fortunate.
