87. Bhagavatha - Srikrishna Revives Dead Calves and Cowherds

 87. Srimad Bhagavata - Srikrishna Revives Dead Calves and Cowherds



Srikrishna revived the dead calves and His companion by His compassionate look and took them out of the monster's mouth. 


The denizens of heaven were immensely happy and offered flowers, apsaras danced, gandarvas and vidyadharas played their instruments, the brahmanas through their hymns, and His own attendants made victory shouts. 


Hearing the auspicious sound of songs, instruments, and the victory shouts, Lord Brahma came to the spot at once.


The dry skin of the serpent at Vrindavan served as a great hollow for the sports of the inhabitants.


This deliverance of Demon Agha by Srikrishna done in His fifth year was recounted by the cowherds in His sixth year (a year later).  


Having heard the beautiful narration, Emperor Parikshit questioned Sri Sukamuni, “How can an act done à distant time (a year ago) be treated as present”? Please clarify this doubt. I am most blessed in this world to repeatedly drink the holy nectar in the shape of Srikrishna’s Leela”


Sage Suta, the disciple of Veda Vyasa, said, “On hearing this, Sri Sukamuni entered Samadhi state (was robbed of all his senses by Srikrishna). For a long time, he remained in that state. Attendees had to slowly bring him back to consciousness through hymns and prayers.
