Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 10: Chapter 6: Verses 41-44

Smelling the fragrance of the smoke rising from the crematorium, the inhabitants of Vraja (Nanda and others, that had gone out of Vraja before Putana came there), returned to Vraja saying what (a strange phenomenon) it was and whence the odour actually came ! Hearing (the story) of Putana's arrival etc., as well as of her (subsequent) death and the baby's safety, as told by the cowherds present there, they stood highly amazed. Taking up (in his arms) his son, who had returned from the jaws of death (as it were,) and smelling Him at His crown (as a token of affection), the noble-minded Nanda experienced a great delight, O jewel of the Kurus ! A man who hears (or recites) with reverence (the story) of this wonderful childlike sport of Lord Sri Krsna, consisting in the deliverance of Putana, comes to develop love for the said Sri Krsna (the Protector of cows).

Thus ends the sixth discourse in the first half of Book Ten of the great and glorious Bhagavata-Purana, otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita.
