Prabhupāda: The calves were grown up, and still, the mother wanted to feed them. So Balarāma was a little surprised. So He wanted to inquire what is the reason from Kṛṣṇa.

Pradyumna: Next verse?

Prabhupāda: It is explained?

Pradyumna: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda. The calves, they were beyond milking, so when the cows were so affectionate, He could not understand.

Prabhupāda: Viśvanātha explanation?

Pradyumna: Yes, a very big one, big explanation.

Prabhupāda: Read it. We shall try to . . .

Pradyumna: Premardher hetor autkaṇṭhyaṁ mukta-staneṣv api vatseṣu nava-prasūta-vatsatarīṇām api gavām ahetu-vit hetum ajānan acintayad iti.

Prabhupāda: You can translate?

Pradyumna: Yes. Premardher hetor autkaṇṭhyam, "Such enthusiasm on a cause of love, such affection," mukta-staneṣv api vatseṣu, "even among those vatsas who had given up milking . . . they were no longer milking them at their mother," nava-prasūta-vatsatarīṇām api gavām, "and seeing that enthusiasm," I think, "even among cows who had newly given birth . . . they had given . . ." They had some older calves who had finished milking, and they had younger calves who had . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, still . . .

Pradyumna: But they showed still same enthusiasm.

Prabhupāda: Yes. So Balarāma was surprised.

Pradyumna: Then there is a . . . he raises some questions. Etāvat kāleṣu prati-dinam eva go-dohanādi samayeṣu nava-prasūtān api vatsān vihāya prācīnān eva vatsān stanaṁ pāyayantīḥ (etc. to abhūt).

Prabhupāda: The mothers were more anxious to feed the older calves, although the new calves were present, because the older calves were expansions of Kṛṣṇa. This was surprising.

Pradyumna: Paśyato' pi to yoga-māyaiva.

Prabhupāda: No, just explain it. These were happening by the yogamāyā's manipulation. It is not generally happening, but on account of yogamāyā, it was so happening. Two māyās are working under the direction of Kṛṣṇa: the mahāmāyā, this material world; and yogamāyā, the spiritual world. So this uncommon thing was happening on account of yogamāyā's influence.

Pradyumna: Tatra to abhūt.

Prabhupāda: So on account of activity of yogamāyā, the day on which Brahmā stolen, and they could not understand how yogamāyā was working. Uncommon thing happening.

Pradyumna: Kintu to nābhūt.

Prabhupāda: So yogamāyā was acting in such a way that even Balarāma could not understand.

Pradyumna: Varṣa-paryantam to avasīyate. End.

Prabhupāda: So as yogamāyā gradually withdrew her action, then others could understand, especially Balarāma, and inquired from Kṛṣṇa. And next?

Pradyumna:

<div class="quote_verse">
:kim etad adbhutam iva
:vāsudeve 'khilātmani
:vrajasya sātmanas . . .

Prabhupāda: One thing, you can keep open my Tenth Canto, Kṛṣṇa.

Jayādvaita: Kṛṣṇa book, Tenth Canto.

Prabhupāda: That will help.

Jayādvaita: Kṛṣṇa book. Thirteenth or Fourteenth Chapter, Volume One. (indistinct background comments)

Pradyumna:

<div class="quote_verse">

(Sātmanaḥ synonyms to śrī-kṛṣṇe iva)

Prabhupāda: The affection was increasing not to māyā, but because Kṛṣṇa expanded Himself as everything. So their whole life was meant for Kṛṣṇa. So on account of Kṛṣṇa affection, the affection of the older calves were more than the new calves. What is written in the English Kṛṣṇa?

Jayādvaita: Kṛṣṇa? "One day when Kṛṣṇa, along with Balarāma, was maintaining the calves in the forest . . ."

Pradyumna: It's just up here. (Pradymuna points out where section begins)

Jayādvaita: "Balarāma was astonished to see all the residents of Vṛndāvana so affectionate for their own children . . ." Is that right? Yes, this is all right. ". . . exactly as they had been for Kṛṣṇa. Similarly, the cows had grown affectionate for their calves as much as for Kṛṣṇa. Balarāma therefore concluded that the extraordinary show of affection was something mystical, either performed by the demigods or by some powerful man."

Prabhupāda: Is it clear now? Balarāma was surprised to see the action of yogamāyā; therefore He inquired from Kṛṣṇa, "What is happening in this scene? What is that mystery?" Is it clear?

Pradyumna: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: In this way go very slow, but the discussion may be complete. So? You can go on.
