Brahmā Stealing the Boys and Calves
15
friends, He began searching in all the mountains, mountain caves, bushes and narrow passages.
PURPORT
The  Vedas  ( Śvetāśvatara Up. 6.8 ) assert that the Supreme Personality of Godhead has nothing to do personally ( na tasya kāryam karaṇam ca vidyate ) because He is doing everything through His energies and potencies ( parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate ). Nonetheless, here we see that He took personal care to find the calves of His friends. This was Kṛṣṇa's causeless mercy.  Mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram:  all the affairs of the entire world and the entire cosmic manifestation are working under His direction, through His different energies. Still, when there is a need to take care of His friends, He does this personally. Kṛṣṇa assured His friends, "Don't be afraid. I am going personally to search for your calves." This was Kṛṣṇa's causeless mercy.
