These thoughts in mind, Sri Krishna, with one hand, immediately lifted Govardhana Hill, as a child snatches a mushroom, thus revealing one of his most celebrated entertainments. Then He spoke to his devotees:

“Dear brothers, dear father, dear inhabitants of Vrindavana, now come to safety under Govardhana, whom I have just raised to make you a good umbrella. Do not be afraid that the hill will fall from my hand. The heavy rains and the violent wind made you suffer too much. That's why I raised this hill, gigantic umbrella that will shelter you and, I think, will relieve you for the immediate of your distress. Find happiness with your animals under Govardhana”.

Reassured by Sri Krishna, all the inhabitants of Vrindavana advanced under the great hill, now safe, them, their goods and their animals. People and animals of Vrindavana remained a whole week under the hill, without knowing a moment neither the hunger, the thirst, nor any other discomfort. They were amazed to see Krishna support the mountain with the tip of his little finger in his left hand. As for Indra, king of the Edenic planets, saw the extraordinary character of Krishna's supernatural powers fill him with stupor, and his determination took a mortal blow. He immediately recalled all his clouds and ordered them to retreat. The sky cleared, when the sun shone again, the strong winds calmed down. Then, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, now known as the one who lifted Govardhana Hill, says:

“Dear shepherds, you can now go and take with you your wives, your children, your cows, and your wealth: all is over. The flood has ceased, and the heavy waters of rivers are falling”.

All the men loaded their belongings on trolleys and left the place slowly, followed by their cows. When the place was completely cleared, Sri Krishna, with great care, replaced Govardhana Hill as before. Then all the inhabitants of Vrindavana ran to Him and hugged Him with great ecstasy. The gopis (young villagers), naturally full of affection for the Lord, offered him fresh cheese to which their tears had mingled, and poured upon him an incessant flow of blessings. Mother Yasoda, Mother Rohini, Nanda, and Balarama, the Mighty One of the mighty, one after the other hugged Krishna, and, taken with a feeling of spontaneous affection, blessed Him again and again. On various Edenic planets, Siddhaloka, Gandharvaloka and Caranaloka ..., celestial beings also manifested their full satisfaction, throwing rain on the surface of the earth, blowing in their conches. The drumming was heard, and, inspired by divine sentiments, the inhabitants of Gandharvaloka began to play their tambura for the pleasure of the Lord. Finally, God, the Supreme Person, surrounded by his friends and his animals, all dear to his heart, returned to his home. As usual, the gopis then sang Sri Krishna's glorious entertainment, and they put in their voices all the strength of their feelings, for it came from the heart.
