"That indeed is one's God whereby

one would live in happiness, and we live

by our cows and are always denizens of

the forests and the mountains. Therefore

let the worship of cows, Brahmins and

the mountain be begun."
 

 
कालात्मना भगवता शक्रदर्पं जिघांसता ।

प्रोक्तं निशम्य नन्दाद्याः साध्वगृह्णन्त तद्वचः ॥
 

Nanda and others listened to and

received well those words spoken by the

Lord, who, as the embodiment of Time,

desired to put an end to Indra's pride.
 

 
तथा च व्यदधुस्सर्वं यथाऽऽह मधुसूदनः ।

गोधनानि पुरास्कृव्य गिरिं चक्रुः प्रदक्षिणम् ॥
 

They did everything as Lord Hari told

them; with the flocks of cows in front

of them, they went round the mountain

(Govardhana).
