TEXT 20
स्वयमात्मात्मगोवत्सान् प्रतिवार्यात्मवत्सपैः । क्रीडन्नात्मविहारैश्च सर्वात्मा प्राविशद् ब्रजम् ॥२०॥
svayam ātmātma-govatsān prativāryātma-vatsapaiḥ krīḍann ātma-vihāraiś ca sarvātmā prāviśad vrajam
svayam ātmā—Krṣṇa, who is personally the Supreme Soul, the Supersoul; ātma-go-vatsān—now expanded into calves that were also He Himself; prativārya ātma-vatsapaiḥ—again He Himself was represented as the cowherd boys controlling and commanding the calves; krīḍan—thus Himself constituting everything in these transcendental pastimes; ātma-vihāraiḥ ca—enjoying Himself by Himself in different ways; sarva-ātmā—the Supersoul, Krṣṇa; prāviśat—entered; vrajam—Vrajabhūmi, the land of Mahārāja Nanda and Yaśodā.
TRANSLATION
Now expanding Himself so as to appear as all the calves and cowherd boys, all of them as they were, and at the same time appear as their leader, Krṣṇa entered Vrajabhūmi, the land of His father, Nanda Mahārāja, just as He usually did while enjoying their company.
PURPORT
Krṣṇa usually stayed in the forest and pasturing ground, taking care of the calves and cows with His associates the cowherd boys. Now that the original group had been taken away by Brahmā, Krṣṇa Himself assumed the forms of every member of the group, without anyone's knowledge, even the knowledge of Baladeva, and continued the usual program. He was ordering His friends to do this and that, and He was controlling the calves and going into the forest to search for them when they went astray, allured by new grass, but these calves and boys were He Himself. This was Krṣṇa's inconceivable potency. As explained by Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī,  rādhā krṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmāt . Rādhā and
