Vṛndāvana forest improved from the rains and was replete with ripened dates, mangoes, blackberries, and other fruits. Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, accompa- nied by His cowherd friends and Lord Balarāma, entered the forest to enjoy the new seasonal atmosphere. The cows, nourished by new grasses, became very healthy, and their milk bags were all very full. When Lord Kṛṣṇa called them by name, they immediately came to Him out of affection, and in their joyful condition the milk flowed from their bags.
Lord Kṛṣṇa was very pleased when passing through the Vṛndāvana forest by the side of Govardhana Hill. On the bank of the Yamunā He saw all the trees decorated with beehives pouring honey. There were many waterfalls on Govardhana Hill, and their flowing made a nice sound. Kṛṣṇa heard them as He looked into the caves of the hill. When there was rainfall within the forest, Kṛṣṇa and His companions would sit under a tree or within the caves of Govardhana Hill and enjoy eating the ripened fruits and talking with great pleasure.
Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma were in the forest all day; so mother Yaśodā used to send Them fruits, sweetmeats, and rice mixed with yogurt. Kṛṣṇa would take them and sit on a slab of stone on the bank of the Yamunā. While Kṛṣṇa, Balarāma, and Their friends were eating, they watched the cows, calves, and bulls. The cows appeared to be tired from standing with their heavy milk bags. By sitting and chewing grass, they became happy, and Kṛṣṇa was pleased to see them in this condition. He was also pleased to see the beauty of the forest, which was nothing but the manifestation of His own energy.
