गर्ग: पुरोहितो [राजन् ] यदूनां सुमहातपाः ।
चकार नामकरणं गूढो रहसि बालयोः ॥
Garga, of very great penance, the
preceptor of the Yadus, remaining
hidden, secretly conducted the sacrament
of the naming of the two boys.
गर्गः--
'अयं हि रोहिणीपुत्रो रमयन् सुहृदो गुणैः ।
आख्यास्यते राम इति बलाधिक्याद्
यदूनामपृथग्भावात् सङ्कर्षणमुशन्त्युत ॥
Garga :
"This son of Rohini shall be called
Rama as he delights friends with his
qualities; he shall be known also as Bala
because of his excelling strength; and
people desire to call him Sankarshana for
holding the Yadus in unity.*
* Rama is from Ram, causal, to delight: Bala
means strength and Sankarshana is one who draws
people together; Krish with Sam, to draw close.
