attractive feature of childhood would absorb their whole attention. Their
dealings with Krsna would be so powerful that simply by hearing of
Krsna’s childhood activities with them, anyone could very easily cross over
the nescience of birth and death. Lord Brahma agreed to give them the
benediction, and as a result the same Brona appeared as Nanda Maharaja
in Vrndavana, and the same Dhara appeared as mother YaSoda, the wife of
Nanda Maharaja.

In this way, Nanda Maharaja and his wife, mother Yagoda, developed
their unalloyed devotion for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, having
gotten Him as their son. And all the gopis and cowherd men who were
associates of Krsna naturally developed their own different feelings of
love for Krsna.

Therefore, just to fulfill the benediction of Lord Brahma, Lord Krsna
appeared along with His plenary expansion, Balarama, and performed
all kinds of childhood pastimes in order to increase the transcendental
pleasure of all residents of Vrndavana.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Eighth Chapter of Krsna,
“Vision of the Universal Form.”
