Å›rÄ«-nandaḥ uvÄca - ÅšrÄ« Nanda MahÄrÄja said; Å›rÅ«yatÄm - please hear; me - my; vacaḥ - words; gopÄḥ - my dear cowherd men; vyetu - let it go away; Å›aá¹…kÄ - the doubt; ca - and; vaḥ - your; arbhake - concerning the boy; enam - this; kumÄram - to the child; uddiÅ›ya - referring; gargaḥ - the sage Garga; me - to me; yat - which; uvÄca - spoke; ha - in the past.
Nanda MahÄrÄja replied: O cowherd men, just hear my words and let all your doubts concerning my son be gone. Some time ago Garga Muni spoke to me as follows about this boy.
ÅšrÄ«la ÅšrÄ«dhara SvÄmÄ« comments, “The words previously heard from GargÄcÄrya awakened Nanda MahÄrÄja to the truth about Kṛṣṇa, and thus, by Nanda’s constantly remembering His activities, all thoughts about their being impossible ceased in him. Now he is instructing the cowherd men with these same words.â€
