Chapter 24: Krishna Defies
Indra in Favor of the Brahmins,
the Cows and Govardhana Hill
(12) S'rî S'uka
said: 'Hearing Nanda's words and also what the other residents of Vraja
said,
Lord Kes'ava spoke
to his father in a
way that made lord Indra angry.
Chapter 25: Lord Krishna Lifts
Govardhana Hill *
(19) Thus having spoken
He, Vishnu, took with one hand [His left one]
Govardhana hill and held it high as easy as a child lifting a mushroom.
Chapter 26: Nanda Recapitulates
the words of Garga
before the Puzzled Gopas
(2) 'Considering the no doubt
extraordinary activities of the boy, how could He deserve a,
for Himself contemptible, birth among worldly men?
Chapter 27: Lord Indra and Mother
Surabhi
Offer Prayers
(22-23) S'rî S'uka
said: 'Thus pleading for Lord Krishna He was in the company of the enlightened, the seers
and the
inspired mothers of the gods [the daughters of Aditi] by Indra bathed with
Surabhi her milk and
the Ganges water flowing from heaven that was carried by
Airâvata's trunk. Next
the descendent of Das'ara received the
name Lord Govinda.
Chapter 28: Krishna Rescues Nanda
Mahârâja
from the Abode of Varuna
(8) Even to me o Krishna, o You
who sees everything, please, be of mercy, o Govinda;
to You, so caring for Your parents, belongs definitely this man who is
Your father.'
Chapter 29: The Rasa Play:
Krishna Meets
and Escapes the Gopîs at Night
(3) Seeing how the
kumuda lotuses opened to his full round face that, like the face with
fresh kunkuma of the goddess of fortune, with its light reddened the
forest, He, colored by the gentle rays of that light, played his flute
sweetly enchanting the eyes of charm [of the gopîs].
(41) You as the
Godhead, the Original Personality protecting all gods and worlds, have
taken birth as the Lord, the evident remover of the fear and
distress of the people of Vraja, therefore kindly place, o Friend of
the Distressed, Your lotuslike hand on the burning breasts and heads of
Your maidservants.'
