I did not see Him in the courtyard of Radha's father Maharaja Vrishabhanu." As Nanda Maharaja became struck with wonder to hear all this, smiling Krishna slipped out of the house, from right under Nanda's nose. May Krishna protect you all.

Mother Yasoda said, "Child, when You take care of the cows far away in the forests or the caves of Govardhana Hill, and You see dangerous wild animals, then You should meditate on the ancient Supreme Person, Lord Narayana, and He will protect You." As Lord Krishna heard these words it was only with great difficulty that He prevented a smile from appearing on His bimba-fruit lips. May that suppressed smile protect all the worlds.

As Lord Krishna heard His mother narrate His own activities performed in ancient times, He suddenly called out: "Lakshmana! Where is My bow? Where is My bow? Where is my bow?" I pray these alarmed words of Lord Krishna may protect you all.

"What is this story I have never heard? Please tell it."
Mother Yasoda then told the story. When she came to the sentences, "Then Lord Nrisimha appeared from the pillar. Lord Nrisimha was very eager to rip the demon to shreds." a smile suddenly arose on child Krishna's lips.
