TRANSLATION

Although the inhabitants of Vrajabhimi, the cowherd men and
cowherd women, previously had more affection for Krsna than for
their own children, now, for one year, their affection for their
own sons continuously increased, for Krsna had now become their
sons. There was no limit to the increment of their affection for
their sons, who were now Krsna. Every day they found new in-
spiration for loving their children as much as they loved Krsna.
