Verse Text
anumitaṁ, yathā –
unmīlya vraja-śiśavo dṛśaṁ purastād
bhāṇḍīraṁ punar atulya vilokayantaḥ |
sātmānaṁ paśu-paṭalīṁ ca tatra dāvād
unmuktāṁ manasi camatkriyām avāpuḥ ||11||
Translation
By inference of Kṛṣna’s superhuman acts: When all the children opened their eyes, they were astonished to see in front of them the incomparable banyan tree called Bhāṇḍīra, and that they and all the cows had been rescued from the forest fire.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Similarly, when there was a forest fire in the Bhāṇḍīravana, Kṛṣṇa instructed His friends to close their eyes tightly, and they all did this. Then when Kṛṣṇa had extinguished the fire, the cowherd boys opened their eyes and saw that they had been relieved from the danger and that their cows and calves were all safe. They began to perceive the wonder of the situation simply by guessing how Kṛṣṇa had saved them. This is another instance of indirect perception causing astonishment in devotional service.
