He saw the cows, bulls and calves sitting on green pastures, with eyes closed, ruminating (carvataḥ). The season was surcharged with the hlādini-śakti (ātma-śakti) which made the season qualified for his pastimes. He considered the season proper (pūjayām cakre). unmatta-śikhi-sāraṅge tasmin kāle mahāvane / kṛṣṇarāmau mudāyuktau gopālaiś ceratuḥ saha // kvicid gobhiḥ samaṁ ramyaṁ geya-tāla-ratā bubhau / ceratuḥ kvacid atyarthaṁ śīta-vṛkṣa-talāśritau // kvacit kadaṁba-srak-citrau mayūra-srag-virājitau / viliptau kvacid āsātāṁ vividhair giri-dhātubhiḥ // parṇaśayyāsu saṁsuptau kvacin nidrāntaraiṣiṇau / kvacid garjati jīmūte hāhā-kāra-ravākulau // Surrounded by cowherd boys, Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma wandered in the large forest during the monsoon, filled with impassioned peacocks and cātaka birds. Sometimes they would sing as they wandered in the forests made beautiful by the cows. They would sit at the bases of cool trees. They were decorated in kadamba garlands and garlands made of peacock feathers. Sometimes they would decorate themselves with various minerals from the mountains. Sometimes they would sleep on beds made of leaves and after sleep would desire to play again. Sometimes when the clouds rumbled they would shout. Viṣṇu Purāṇa 5.6.44-47

He saw the cows ruminating and the beauty of the season. The animals were sitting because they were satisfied (tṛptān). During the monsoon, there was plentiful soft grass everywhere. In one place, in one moment they could fill their stomachs. The word ca indicates the whole group. They sat near Kṛṣṇa. The cows also sat because their udders were full. The cows and bulls are mentioned because they were in the majority, but buffalos were also present. He saw the beauty of the monsoon with the forests, which was previously described (tām). Or he saw the beauty of the monsoon which was indescribable (tām). Beauty of the monsoon means beauty of the forest, deer and buffaloes in the monsoon season. Megha-prṣṭhe balākānāṁ rarāja vimalā tatiḥ Durvṛtter vṛtta-ceṣṭeva kulīnasyātiśobhanā A spotless line of cranes shone on the surface of a cloud. The well-bred were splendid and the wicked were futile in their actions. Viṣṇu Purāṇa The monsoon season was filled with the Lord’ṣ śakti in the form of time. This made it different. Time serves the Lord. Or though it was filled with his own powers (ātma-śakty-upabṛṁhitām) he praised it with affection (pūjayām cakre) or thought it excellent, because it gave happiness to all beings continuously. Instead of sukha sometimes mudā is seen with the same meaning. Or one may worry that the swans would be suffering. The season was endowed with the Lord’s power so that even they were happy. Other pastimes are described by Parāśara: unmatta-śikhi-sāraṅge tasmin kāle mahāvane / kṛṣṇarāmau mudāyuktau gopālaiś ceratuḥ saha // kvicid gobhiḥ samaṁ ramyaṁ geya-tāla-ratā bubhau / ceratuḥ kvacid atyarthaṁ śīta-vṛkṣa-talāśritau // kvacit kadaṁba-srak-citrau mayūra-srag-virājitau / viliptau kvacid āsātāṁ vividhair giri-dhātubhiḥ // parṇaśayyāsu saṁsuptau kvacin nidrāntaraiṣiṇau / kvacid garjati jīmūte hāhā-kāra-ravākulau // Surrounded by cowherd boys, Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma wandered in the large forest during the monsoon, filled with impassioned peacocks and cātaka birds.
