[Hearing about Krishna's pastimes with Varuna,] the cowherd men considered that Krishna must be the Supreme Lord, and their minds, O King, were filled with eagerness. They thought, "Will the Supreme Lord bestow upon us His transcendental abode?"
The cowherd men were filled with excitement upon hearing how Krishna had gone to the abode of Varuna to rescue His father.
