Nanda MahÄrÄja then issued orders to the cowherd men by having the village constable make the following announcement throughout Nanda’s domain of Vraja: “Go collect all the available milk products. Bring valuable gifts and yoke your wagons. Tomorrow we shall go to MathurÄ, present our milk products to the King and see a very great festival. The residents of all the outlying districts are also going.â€
