Translation

Another example: Showers of rain along with hail are falling profusely like juice from the foreheads of elephants. The young men have become confused. You are just a boy. Therefore, do not try to go out of the house.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

However, Kṛṣṇa could go to Govardhana in the rain without getting wet, just as He had transferred Himself and the cowherd boys from the forest fire to the Bhāṇḍira tree safely. (SB 10.19.13)

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

There were severe torrents of hail when Kṛṣṇa was staying in the forest of Vṛndāvana, and the elderly persons bade Him, “Kṛṣṇa, don’t You move now! Even persons who are stronger and older than You cannot move, and You are just a little boy. So please stay still!” This is an instance of emotion caused by heavy hailing.
