Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.6.45:

आक्रोशन्ति � तद�-दुःख� का�-गत्यैव कृत्स्नश� �
कृष्णे� सोढम� अधुन� कि� कर्तव्यं बतापरम� � ४५ �

ākrośanti ca tad-duḥkha� kāla-gatyaiva kṛtsnaśa� |
kṛṣṇena soḍham adhunā ki� kartavya� batāparam || 45 ||

Those DZī used to publicize this everywhere by shouting. However, Śrī ṛṣṇa tolerated all this sorrow considering it to be the ways of time. Other than this, what else could He have done? You should tell only what He did for the vraja-ī?

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

What did Śrī ṛṣṇa do? Considering the crooked ways of time, He tolerated the misery of maintaining the cows. Due to His childish innocence, He tolerated such formidable distress. The passage of time indicates that He tolerated all these distresses in order to reside in a hidden manner and cheat ṃs. Therefore, what should Śrī ṛṣṇa do for the Ჹ-? In other words, Śrī ṛṣṇa tolerated all the distresses for the achievement of His self-interests and did ample favors for the Ჹ-. What more favors can He do for them?
