Comentário

Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī points out that although the people were weak from hunger and thirst, they did not drink the milk from the cows present there because they feared it had been contaminated by the serpent’s poison. The residents of Vṛndāvana were so overjoyed to get back their beloved Kṛṣṇa that they did not want to go back to their houses. They wanted to stay with Kṛṣṇa on the bank of the Yamunā so that they could continuously see Him. Thus they decided to take rest near the riverbank.

SIGNIFICADO—Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī salienta que, embora as pessoas estivessem fracas devido à fome e à sede, elas não beberam o leite das vacas que ali estavam, pois temiam que estivesse contaminado pelo veneno da serpente. Os residentes de Vṛndāvana estavam tão exultantes por ter de volta seu amado Kṛṣṇa que não quiseram regressar para casa. Queriam ficar com Kṛṣṇa na margem do Yamunā para poder vê-lO continuamente. Então, decidiram descansar perto da beiro do rio.
