At the time of Lord Krishna's birth, Garga Muni had predicted, anena sarva-durgani yuyam anjas tarishyatha (Bhag. 10.8.16): "By His grace you will easily cross beyond all difficulties." The residents of Vrindavana were confident that in such a great emergency Lord Sri Narayana would empower Krishna to protect them. They accepted Krishna as everything, and Krishna reciprocated their love.
