Purport
The name Gadāgraja indicates Kṛṣṇa, the elder brother (agraja) of Gada, the first son of Devarakṣitā. She was a sister of Devakī’s who was also married to Vasudeva. The gopīs, by addressing Kṛṣṇa in this way, indicate that He now thinks of Himself mostly as the son of Devakī, the implication being that His connection with Vṛndāvana has now slackened. Because of intense love, the gopīs could not stop thinking of Kṛṣṇa for a moment.
