  • dundubhayaḥ — kettledrums
    Divine drums. Their resounding is a stock marker in the Bhāgavatam that something cosmically significant has happened. Gauḍīyas read dundubhi-sounding as the universe's applause.
  • vyomni — in the sky
    Locative of vyoman (sky, space). The sky is the venue for the supernal audience. Vraja's līlā is double-decked: human-level ground action and deva-level sky reaction.
  • kusumaiḥ — with flowers
    Instrumental plural of kusuma (flower). Puṣpa-vṛṣṭi — flower-rain. Gauḍīyas note that flower-rain consistently marks Bhagavān's victories and līlā-climaxes; it is the cosmos's anubhāva.
  • munayaḥ — the great sages
    Plural of muni. Sages whose stock-in-trade is silence here engage in praise. Gauḍīya reading: even silence-keepers cannot help speaking when līlā passes near; bhāva overrides vow.
  • tat - vīryaiḥ — with His heroic deeds
    Compound: tat (His) + vīrya (potency, heroism). The same vīrya the next sections will demonstrate against the Yamunā. Vīrya is the link-word between mādhurya episodes and aiśvarya episodes.
At that time kettledrums resounded in the sky, the Gandharvas joyfully rained down flowers, and the great sages praised Lord Balarāma’s heroic deeds.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
At that time kettledrums resounded in the sky, the Gandharvas joyfully rained down flowers, and the great sages praised Lord Balarāma's heroic deeds.

When the right kind of pastime is unfolding on earth, the sky itself sets up its instruments — drums, flowers, chants — without being asked. The cosmos has a stage crew, and they show up automatically for līlā that matters.
