Translation

Traducción

Because of intense paternal affection, the cowherd men, headed by Nanda, could not believe that Kṛṣṇa could have uprooted the trees in such a wonderful way. Therefore they could not put their faith in the words of the boys. Some of the men, however, were in doubt. “Since Kṛṣṇa was predicted to equal Nārāyaṇa,” they thought, “it might be that He could have done it.”

Debido al intenso cariño paternal, Nanda y los pastores de vacas no podían creer que Kṛṣṇa hubiera arrancado los árboles de aquella forma maravillosa. Así, les era imposible tener fe en las palabras de los niños. Algunos de ellos, sin embargo, dudaban: «Según las predicciones, Kṛṣṇa es como Nārāyaṇa. Bien podría haberlo hecho Él».

Significado

One view was that it was impossible for a small boy like this to have done such a thing as pulling down the trees. But there were doubts because Kṛṣṇa had been predicted to equal Nārāyaṇa. Therefore the cowherd men were in a dilemma.

Para unos, era imposible que un niño tan pequeño pudiera haber tirado aquellos gigantescos árboles. Sin embargo, había quien dudaba, pues, según las predicciones, Kṛṣṇa era como Nārāyaṇa. Los pastores de vacas se encontraban entonces ante un verdadero dilema.
