TRANSLATION
In various places citizens of the city came forward holding auspicious offerings for Lord Kṛṣṇa, and sinless leaders of occupational guilds came forward to worship the Lord.
PURPORT
Śrīla Prabhupāda writes, "While Lord Kṛṣṇa was thus passing on the road, at intervals some of the opulent citizens, who were all rich, respect able and freed from sinful activities, presented auspicious articles to the Lord, just to offer Him a reception to the city. Thus they worshiped Him as humble servitors."
