The Wedding of Sri Radha-Krsna

Chapter 15: Verse 1-7

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 1.Sri Narayana Rsi said: One day, taking infant Krsna with Him, Nanda tended the cows in a banyan grove of Vrndavana forest. 2.He drank the sweet water of a lake, made the cows drinks also, and, holding infant Krsna to his chest, he sat at the roots of a banyan tree. 3.O sage, then Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead who was playing the role of an infant, employed His Yogamaya potency to suddenly cover the sky with clouds. 4.-5.Seeing the cloud-covered sky, darkened forest, howling winds, ferocious thunder, great rainstorm, wildly shaking trees, and falling branches, Nanda became afraid. 6.Nanda said: How can I go home now and leave the calves behind? If I do not go home, what will become of my boy? 7.As Nanda spoke these words, infant Krsna, pretending to be afraid, cried and clutched His father’s neck.
