ARASARA said : — Sakra having departed, the cow-herds, on seeing him uplift the mountain Govardhana, said to Krishna of wonderous deeds, delightedly :— "O thou of mighty arms, thou hast saved us from a great fear; by hold- ing up the mountain thou hast protected the cows. Wonder- ful are thy childish sports and insignificantis the condition of a herdsman and all thy actions are those of a god. Tell us what is the meanings of all this. Kaliya has been vanquish- ed in the water; Pralamba has been killed: Govardhana has been lifted up : our minds are filled vvith surprise. We can swear by the feet of Hari, thou of unbounded míght, that beholding thy powers we do not consider thee as man. O Kesava, the woman, the children and the old of Vraja are all pleased with thee — even all the celestials cannot perform the deeds thou hast done. Thy boyhood and thy prowess ; thy humiliating birth amongest us, are contraductions that fill us with surprise whenever we think of them. Be thou a god, or a demon or a Yaksha or a Gandharba, or whatever, we may consider thee, we should respect thee for thou art our

When they had finished, Krishna rftmaind silent for some time as if hurt and wounded and then said to them. Herds- men, if you are not ashamed of my relationship, if 1 have deserved your praise, then what necessity have you to discuss thus concerning me ? If you have any love for me, if I merit your praise, then consider me as your friend. I am nither a god, nor a Gandharba nor a Yaksha nor a demon— I am born as thy friend and you should not think otherwise of me." PARASAKA said :— Being addressed thus, O great Muni' the cow-herds remained*silent and went iuto the woods

leavíng Krishna apparently displeased. Beholding the clear sky with the autumnal raoon, aud the air perfumed with the fragrance of the wild water-lily in whose buds the clustering bees were murmuring their songs, he felt inclined to join with the females of cow-herds in sport. Thereupon with Rama he began singing-sweet low strains in various measures such as the woman loved ; and tbey, as soon as they heard the music, left their homes and hastened to meet the Slayer of Madhu. One damsel gently sang an accompaniment to his song, another attentively listened to his music : one called him by the name and then shrank in bashfulness : whilst another, more boid and prompted by love, pressed close to his side ; one, as she caine out, saw some of the seniors of her family and dared not veuture satisfying herself with meditaling on Krishna with closed eyes and whole-minded devotion by which immediately all acts of merit were erfaced by rapture and all sin was expiated by regret at not seeing him : and uthers again, reflecting upon the cause of the world, in the lorm of the Supreme Brahma, obtained, by their sighing, final emancipatton. Thus encircled by the females of cow-herds Krishna thought the lovely moon-light night of autumn suited to the Rasa * dance. Many of them so imitated the different actions of Krishna that in his absence they wandered through Vrindavana representing his person. "I am Krishna" ex- claims one " behold the beauty of my movemeuts." " I am Krishna" cries aiother ''Listen to my sing." "Waiti wicked Káliya, I am Krishna " cries out another striking her arms defiantly. A fourth cries out : " Herdsmen, fear nothing, be steady, there is no danger of the storm any more for I uplift fhe Govardhana for your protection," and a fifth exclaims— " Now let the cattle graze wherever they will, for I have slain Dhenuka." In this wise the females of the cow-herds imitat-

ed the various aclions of Krislma, and in his absence removed their sorrow by mimicking his sports. One damsel, looking on the earth with the down of her person erect and expanded eyes, exclaims " See here are the impressions of Krishna's feet and as he lias gone, he has left those marks of the banner, the thunder-bolt and the goad. What fortunate damsel is going with him inebrieate with her passion as her irregular footmarks prove ? Here Dámodara has calied flowers from on liigh, for we see alone the marks of the tips of his feet. Here a nymph has sat down with him be-decked with flowers, fortunate in having propitiated Vishnu in a pristime birth. Having left her in a hauglity mood because he had aóWed her with flowers, the sou of Nanda has gone by this road ; for see, unable to follow liim vuitli equal steps his companion has liere trippled along upon her toes ; and that holding his hand, the damsel has passed on is evident from the uneven and intermingled footsteps. The wicked Krishna merely took her by the hand and then left her. The damsel, being dis- appointed, is returning in falterin j steps — for such her foot- marks indicate. Forsooth he proposed to her that he would come back soon, for here are his own footsteps returning with speed. Here he has entered the thick íore6t but as the rays of the moon do not enter here his footsteps can be traced no farther." Being hopeless of beholding Krishna, the females of the cow-herds came back and arriving at the banks of the Yamuna, they began to sing his songs. They immediatery saw the protector of the three worlds, with a smiling counte- nance, coniing speedily towards them, on which one cried out " Krishna, Krishna being unable to utter any thing else. One liked to contract her forehead with frowns as diinking with the bees of her eyes the lotus of the face of Hari : ano- ther, shutting her eyes, meditated, in her mind, upon his form as if being engaged in an act of devotion.

When leading, they followed him, when coming back, they met him and whether he went forwards or backwards they always followed his footsteps. Whilst sporting thus with the females of the cow-herds, they regarded one moment in his absence, as a myriad of years.
