Brahmā’s Bewilderment and Kṛṣṇa Becoming the Calves and Cowherd Boys
Brahma-vimohana-līlā
तथाघवदनान्मृत्यो रक्षित्वा वत्सपालकान् । सरित्पुलिनमानीय भगवानिदमब्रवीत् ॥ ४ ॥
tathāgha-vadanān mṛtyo rakṣitvā vatsa-pālakān sarit-pulinam ānīya bhagavān idam abravīt
Bấy giờ, sau khi cứu các cậu bé chăn bò và đàn bê khỏi miệng Aghāsura—kẻ hiện thân của tử thần—Đức Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa đưa tất cả đến bờ sông và phán như sau.
This verse states that Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa personally protected the cowherd boys from a deathly peril, showing His role as the direct guardian of those under His shelter.
After saving them, Kṛṣṇa led them to the riverbank—a calm setting—so He could address them and continue the pastime in an orderly, reassuring way.
Remember Kṛṣṇa as the protector in times of fear, and respond to crises by taking shelter in devotion and steadiness rather than panic.
