The Killing of the Demon Pūtanā
3
TRANSLATION
Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: My dear King, while Nanda Mahārāja was on the way home, he considered that what Vasudeva had said could not be false or useless. There must have been some danger of disturbances in Gokula. As Nanda Mahārāja thought about the danger for his beautiful son, Krṣṇa, he was afraid, and he took shelter at the lotus feet of the supreme controller.
PURPORT
Whenever there is danger, the pure devotee thinks of the protection and shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is also advised in  Bhagavad-gītā  (9.33):  anityam asukham lokam imam prāpya bhajasva mām . In this material world there is danger at every step ( padam padam yad vipadām ). Therefore a devotee has no other course than to take shelter of the Lord at every step.
