When the snake had departed, the cow-herds received back Govinda as one risen from dead and embraced him and bathed his forehead with tears of joy. Others, considering the water of the river pure, were filled with surprise, and chanted the glory of Krishna, who is above the influence of actions. Being thus glorified by his illustrious exploits and eulogized by the cow-herds and their wives, Krishna came back to Vraja.
In plain words: When the snake is gone, the cowherds hug Krishna as if he had come back from the dead, and they cry happy tears. People are amazed that the river's water is clean again. They praise Krishna, and he returns home to Vraja.
