yajñe ̍ tra sarvaṁ gokulavāsinam

 **The phrase "yajñe tra sarvaṁ gokulavāsinam" in Devanagari script is written as: यज्ञे तत्र सर्वं गोकुलवासिनम्.

Explanation

• यज्ञे (yajñe): “in the sacrifice” or “during the yajna”
• तत्र (tra): “there”
• सर्वं (sarvaṁ): “all” or “everything”
• गोकुलवासिनम् (gokulavāsinam): “residents of Gokula” (referring to the 
• inhabitants of Krishna’s village)

This phrase alludes to the idea that in a sacred yajna (sacrificial ritual), 

all of Gokula and its residents are present or affected, often found in 

texts describing devotional contexts or narrations related to Krishna.

The phrase generally translates to: “For the sacrifice,

all the residents of Gokula are involved.”

Detailed Breakdown

• yajñe – “in the sacrifice” or “for the ritual offering”; derived from yajña, 
• which refers to a sacrificial ritual or a holy offering in Vedic tradition.
• tra – often a particle meaning “here” or “indeed”; sometimes used 
• for emphasis.
• sarvaṁ – “all” or “entire”; encompassing everything or everyone.
• gokulavāsinam – “residents of Gokula,” referring to the inhabitants 
• of Gokula, the holy village associated with Lord Krishna, including 
• cows, people, and other living beings therein.

Contextual Meaning

In essence, this phrase is from a scriptural or devotional text where a

ritual or offering (yajña) is being described that includes or affects the 

entire community of Gokula. It conveys the idea that the sacrificial act

encompasses all the dwellers of that sacred place, emphasizing 

inclusiveness in religious observances and possibly highlighting 

Krishna’s association with Gokula and its inhabitants.

Thus, a smooth English translation could be: “In the sacrifice, all the 

residents of Gokula are involved” or “The sacrifice concerns all the 

dwellers of Gokula.” This captures both the literal and devotional sense.
