demons. Now they actually saw that this was coming true, word for word.

All the elderly cowherd men, including Nanda Maharaja, used to talk of
the wonderful activities of Lord Krsna and Balarama, and they were
always so much absorbed in those talks that they forgot the threefold
miseries of this material existence. This is the effect of Krsna conscious-
ness. What was enjoyed 5,@@@ years ago by Nanda Maharaja can still be
enjoyed by persons who are in Krsna consciousness simply by talking
about the transcendental pastimes of Krsna and His associates.

Thus both Balarama and Krsna enjoyed Their childhood pastimes,
imitating the monkeys of Lord Ramacandra who constructed the bridge
over the ocean and Hanuman, who jumped over the water to Ceylon.
And They used to imitate such pastimes among Their friends and so
happily passed Their childhood life.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Eleventh Chapter of Krsna,
“Killing the Demons Vatsdsura and Bakdsura.”
