Garuḍa, Saubhari’s Curse, Kāliya’s Refuge, and Kṛṣṇa Saves Vraja from Forest Fire
यशोदा रोहिणी नन्दो गोप्यो गोपाश्च कौरव । कृष्णं समेत्य लब्धेहा आसन् शुष्का नगा अपि ॥ १५ ॥
yaśodā rohiṇī nando gopyo gopāś ca kaurava kṛṣṇaṁ sametya labdhehā āsan śuṣkā nagā api
Als ihre Lebenskraft zurückkehrte, gingen Yaśodā, Rohiṇī, Nanda sowie alle Gopīs und Gopas zu Kṛṣṇa, o Nachkomme der Kurus. Selbst die verdorrten Bäume erwachten wieder zum Leben.
FAQs
This verse says that when the Vraja elders and cowherds met Kṛṣṇa again, they felt their life return—so powerful is Kṛṣṇa’s presence that even withered trees are described as becoming fresh.
In the Kālīya episode, Vraja was overwhelmed with fear and grief while Kṛṣṇa was in danger; upon reuniting with Him, their intense anxiety ended and they felt revived.
When anxiety drains one’s strength, turning to Kṛṣṇa through remembrance, kīrtana, and darśana of His form and līlā can restore clarity, hope, and inner vitality—like “life returning” to the heart.
