TRANSLATION
Keeping all the old men, women, children and household
paraphernalia on the bullock carts and keeping all the cows in
front, the cowherd men picked up their bows and arrows with
great care and sounded bugles made of horn. O King Pariksit, in
this way, with bugles vibrating all around, the cowherd men, ac-
companied by their priests, began their journey.
PURPORT
In this connection it is to be noted that although the inhabitants of
Gokula were mostly cowherd men and cultivators, they knew how to de-
fend themselves from danger and how to give protection to the women,
the old men, the cows and the children, as well as to the brahminical
purohitas.
