Removing all fear from fathers and gurus by bowing his head, greeting the elders of the Yadus with words, others with embraces, the touch of his hands, smiles and glances, he respected all, down to the outcastes with desirable gifts.

Prahva means to bow the head. He did this to fathers and other elder relatives and to sages like Garga. He greeted elders of the Yadu clan with words. Down to the outcastes he comforted all, giving them fearlessness. Varaih means “by desirable gifts.â€
