TRANSLATION

In this way Krsna and Balarama passed Their childhood age in
Vrajabhimi by engaging in activities of childish play, such as play-
ing hide-and-seek, constructing a make-believe bridge on the
ocean, and jumping here and there like monkeys.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Tenth Canto, Eleventh
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “The Childhood Pastimes
of Krsna.”
