Once, little Krishna and Balarama was playing the children of cowherds in the courtyard for long hours.    Devi Rohini appeared to take the children feeding meals, the children were so wrapped up with various passionate sports did not pay attention to Devi Rohini.   Finally, she went inside the palace and informed Devi Yasodha who approached her little child with her sweet words, he was  already soaked in perspiration and dust, she invited him to take a meal and reminded him about the importance of the day, that was bearing the birth star of little Krishna.  Devi Yasodha considered the supreme Bhramam as her little son, she was so devoted to him and seized his hands; she took Krishna and Balaram inside the palace, thus the children and all the members of the family seated together and a sumptuous meal was served.

In a short while, the senior members of the family of cowherds arrived in the palace of Nandababa to discuss the unexpected events took place in the Gokulam recently.  Nandababa soon joined with them and the senior members expressed their anxiety about the safety of the children of Gokulam.   They have discussed the dreadful Poothana who assumed the form of a beautiful woman and took away little Krishna, and the Shakatasura who caused to crush the bullock cart, the dangerous whirlwind Thrinavarththa that caused horror in the mind of people of Gokulam, in addition to that recently the two trees of Yamalarjuna uprooted with no cause.  Nandababa mentioned that Gokulam has become a threat to the life of the children, so they have to consider shift their residence from Gokulam.  The senior members of cowherds expressed their anxiousness about how could they leave their homes and farm and shift to a new place? Which is the safest place to move?  Nandababa comforted the senior members not to worry about it, he will take care of the welfare of all, thus they have decided soon they will move to a place where cattle can grace, get fodder easily, a place in an abundance of water and greens, and a place to undertake to farm, etc.  Finally, they have arrived in a conclusion to move to the woods of Vrindavana.  Thus, everyone agreed and felt immensely happy to move to the flourished land of Vrindavana.  The children, women, elderly people and men of Gokulam assembled in a place with their belonging in a bullock cart to conduct their journey to the woods of Vrindavana.
