Translation
Mother Surabhi said: O Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa, greatest of mystics! O Soul and origin of the universe! You are the master of the world, and by Your grace, O infallible Lord, we have You as our master.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Mother Surabhi said: O Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa, greatest of mystics! O Soul and origin of the universe! You are the master of the world, and by Your grace, O infallible Lord, we have You as our master.

“My dear Lord Kṛṣṇa, You are the most powerful of all mystic yogīs because You are the soul of the complete universe, and only from You has all this cosmic manifestation taken place. Therefore, although Indra tried his best to kill my descendant cows in Vṛndāvana, they remained under Your shelter, and You have protected them all so well.
Purport
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura points out here that mother Surabhi is feeling great ecstasy as she repeats the words “Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa.” Kṛṣṇa lifted Govardhana Hill by His mystic power and thus protected the cows of Vṛndāvana, whereas her so-called master, Indra, had tried to kill them. Thus Surabhi now clearly understands that it is not the demigods but rather the Supreme God, Kṛṣṇa Himself, who is her real master forever.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Out of joy she called out twice to Krsna. "You are called mahayogi because you protected my offspring by lifting Govardhana using your strength of yoga. We have accepted you as our master, because what use is Indra, who tried to destroy my offspring."
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
She calls out to him as a cowherd and as the Lord. By these two forms, as an extraordinary master, you make us satisfied completely. Calling him Kṛṣṇa, she recognizes him as a cowherd. She says his name twice because of intense taste. She calls to him as the Lord with “O Lord manifesting all powers of yoga like aṇimā! O root of all objects in the material and spiritual universes! O cause of the universe!” Another version has viśva-bhāvana with the same meaning.
She then informs him that she is happy with what has been accomplished. We are protected by you, the protector of the worlds. Though there appears to be repetition of nātha in loka-nāthena and sanāthāḥ the usage emphasizes his special position. Loka-nāthena can also mean “by one who receives prayers from all people.” By addressing him as Acyuta she indicates his eternal position as master.
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
O Kṛṣṇa, directly bhagavān! Repetition of the name indicates confirmation of the fact or joy. Or the second Kṛṣṇa indicates “You are parabrahman in human form, manifesting unlimited qualities and forms.” You are endowed with inconceivable, unlimited śaktis (mahāyogin) because you are the soul of the universe (viśvātman). Or you are endowed with bhakti-yoga (mahāyogin), always propagating it. Thus you are the dearest (viśvātman). Moreover, from you the universe arises (viśva-sambhava). We have you as our master (sanāthā), without fail (acyuta), as the master of the worlds or being the desired attainment by all people (loka-nathena).
Or O lord full of unlimited qualities like affection for the devotees (acyuta). We have a master by such a person as you. The plural is used to represent all the cows and cowherds.
Or we have a master in you alone. Brahmā is not our master. Why? Because you are the master of all jīvas or beings. Or as master of Goloka you are the supreme Lord. Or O Lord beyond all planets (aloka)! We have a master (sanāthāḥ) in you, the master (bhavatā nathena). You are always existing (acyuta)! Since others are destructible, they cannot be our master. This gives the reasons for his being the master. Because he is in all ways more attractive than anything else, he is then addressed “O Kṛṣṇa! O Kṛṣṇa!”
