Chapter 24: Krishna Defies Indra in Favor of the Brahmins, the Cows and Govardhana Hill

(12) S'rî S'uka said: 'Hearing Nanda's words and also what the other residents of Vraja said, spoke Lord Kes'ava to his father in a way that made lord Indra angry.
 

Chapter 25: Lord Krishna Lifts Govardhana Hill *

(19) Thus having spoken took He, Vishnu, with one hand [His left one] Govardhana hill and held it up as easy as a child does a mushroom.
 

Chapter 26: Nanda Recapitulates the words of Garga before the Puzzled Gopas

(2) 'Considering the no doubt extraordinary activities of the boy, how could He deserve a, for Himself contemptible, birth among worldly men?

(24) Thus hearing the words of Nanda about what Garga had said worshiped the residents of Vraja, enlivened by Nanda and with their perplexity gone, Lord Krishna.

Chapter 27: Lord Indra and Mother Surabhi Offer Prayers

(22-23) S'rî S'uka said: 'Thus pleading was Lord Krishna by Surabhi with her own milk and the Ganges water flowing from heaven carried by Airâvata's trunk, by Indra in the company of the enlightened and the seers and by the inspired mothers of the gods [the daughters of Aditi], bathed and was the descendent of Das'ara named Lord Govinda.

Chapter 28: Krishna Rescues Nanda Mahârâja from the Abode of Varuna

(8) Even to me o Krishna, o You who sees everything, please, be of mercy, o Govinda; to You, so caring for Your parents, belongs definitely this one that is Your father.'

Chapter 29: The Rasa Play: Krishna Meets and Escapes the Gopîs at Night

(3) Seeing how the kumuda lotuses opened to his full round face that, like the face with fresh kunkuma of the goddess of fortune, with its light reddened the forest, played He, colored by the gentle rays of that light, his flute sweetly enchanting the eyes of charm [of the gopîs].

(41) You, just as the Godhead, the Original Personality, protecting all gods and worlds, have taken birth as the Godhead, the evident remover of the fear and distress of the people of Vraja, therefore kindly place, o Friend of the Distressed, Your lotuslike hand on the burning breasts and heads of Your maidservants.'
