[Nanda and the other cowherds said:] May our mental functions always take shelter of Krishna's lotus feet, may our words always chant His names, and may our bodies always bow down to Him and serve Him.
The residents of Vrindavana were firmly convinced that even if they could not have direct association with their beloved Krishna, they would never be indifferent to Him. They were all topmost pure devotees of the Lord.
