ARASARA said — Being thus disappointed of offerings in the sacrihce, O Maitreya, Sakra, greatly angry, addressed the attendant clouds called Samvarttaka saying— "0 ye clouds t hear what I say and do ye speedily execute without any judgment my behests. The foolish cow-herd Nanda and his companions, relying upon the protection of Krishna have withheld the usual offerings to us. Now therefore, distress the cattle, with wind and rain at my command, that are their subsistance and whence their occupation is derived. Ascend- ing my elephant, huge as a mountaín summit, I will give you assistance in strengthening the tempest."

PARSARA said : — twice-born one, being thus command- ed by the celestial-chief, the elouds came down in a fearful storm of rain and wind to destroy the caitle. In a moment, the earth the points of the horizon and the sky were all blend- ed into one by the heavy and incessant showers. Being afraid of the lightning's scourge, the clouds filled the quarters with their muttering and pouring down uninterpted torrents. The clouds pouring down waters day and night, the earth was filled with darkness ; and above below and on every side the world was filled with water. The cattle, pelted by the storra, shrank cowering into the sinallest size or gave up their breath. Some covered their calves with flanks and some sawr their young ones carried away by the flood. TremNing io the wind, the calves cast their piteous looks at their mothers or begged, in Iow moans, as if, the help of Krishna. Behold- ing all Gokula moved with terror and cow-herds and cow-herd esses and cattle stricken with consternations, Hari thus thought "This is the work of Mahendra, who has been offend- ed for withholding sacrifices from me ; it is therefore my duty

And being baffled in his pur- pose, the Indra, the destroyer of Bala, ordered the clouds to cease. The threats of Indra having been fruitless and the sky clear, all the inhabitants of Gokula came out from the shelter and went back to their respective habitations. Then Krishna, in the presence of the inhabitants of the forests filled with surprise, restored the great mountain Govardhana to its original site.
