them, they are real facts. These narrations are actually so enjoyable and
enlightening that Maharaja Pariksit and Sukadeva Gosvami took

footsteps, become fully jubilant by hearing about the wonderful activities
of the Lord.

TRANSLATION

Lord Sri Krsna was lying down underneath the handcart in one
corner of the courtyard, and although His little legs were as soft as
leaves, when He struck the cart with His legs, it turned over
violently and collapsed. The wheels separated from the axle, the
hubs and spokes fell apart, and the pole of the handcart broke. On
the cart there were many little utensils made of various metals, and
all of them scattered hither and thither.
