ARASARA said : — After the inhabilants of Gokula had been saved by tlie upholding of the mountain Govardhana, tlie cliastiser of PaUa (Indra) became desirous of seeing Krishna. Having mounted his huge efephant Airavata, that lord of the celestials, tbe destroyer of enemies, beheld the mighty Krishna on the mount Goyardhana, tending cattle; assuming tbe person of a cow-boy and ewcirred by tfre 'sons of cow-herds, although the protector of the universe. He saw above his head, Garuda, the king of birds, invisible to men, spreading out his wings to shade the head of Hari. Desceml- íng from his elephant and taking him at a distance, Sakra, having his eyes expanded with delight, said to the Slayer of Madhu — "Hear[ hear, Krishna, why I have come here; why I have come to thee; do not think otherwise of it. Thou, O lord, who art the supporter of the universe, hast descended upon earth to relieve her of her burden. Being enraged on account of my rites being obstructed, I sent the clouds to deluge Gokula and they have done this evil deed. By upholding the mountain, thou hast preserved the cattle and really, hero, I am much pleased with thy wonderous deed. The object of the celestials is, now, ! think, accoffl- plished, for with thy single hand thou hast uplifted this chief of mountains. Being commissioned by the cattle, Krishna, I have coine to thee, to hönour thee for thou didst save them. At their words, I s-hall install thee as Upendra and as the Indra of the cows thou shalt be called Govinda." Saying this, Maliendra took a ewer from his elephant Airavata and with the holy water it contained performed the regal ceremony of sprinkling. And as the ceremony wa» being performed, the cattle deluged the earth with their milk.
