Lord Krishna speaks “ Oh! Father, All the living beings on this Earth takes birth due to its unfinished Karma and endless desires.  Once they attain birth with the relentless practice of Karma the Jeeva drove to sleep, attains happiness, grief, fear and anxieties, wellness that are derived as a result of Karma and the attitude of performance of Karma. If the Bhagavan provides the results of Karma, the supreme Lord will become reliant by the act of performer.  Lord Indra cannot do anything to living beings; he is performing his duties, it is the Karma provides the results of the deeds.  The performance of duties based on the nature of deities and demons.  Oh! Father, the mind and intellect choose to accept the nature of people as Guru, companion, and enemies and by observing their nature of duties.  Therefore we should worship the Karma and the attitude of performance of Karma, it is the provider of the fruit of Karma and it is pre-destined by the supreme Lord.”

Krishna continues “ Oh! Father, therefore it is our duty to serve the nature which provides an abundance of rains if you serve Lord Indra for rains; it would be like a married woman serving a stranger.  Therefore we should worship the nature that supports our living on the Earth.  We have to worship cows, Vipra/twice-born, who enthuse the souls to elevate to the state of Bhramam, and the Mountains, which is the source of various watercourses that makes the Earth inhabitable.  Therefore, kindly keep ready for all those ingredients kept for Indrayaga, let the twice-born begin with the worship of Agni.   We will worship cows, and serve the meals to everyone, especially to the people who are deprived of the necessities of life, as a part of worship we all will circumambulate the mount Govardhana which is the source of watercourses.  This is how I feel appropriate to worship Go, Bhrama, and Adhri/Mountain if you feel satisfied with my explanation, kindly follow that.”

Shukha Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, Krishna after revealing his point of view, looked at his father’s face.  He was quite enthusiastic and agreeable; he heartily welcomed the idea of Krishna.  The elderly members of the Vraja gave bath to their cows and calves, decorated with vermilion and sandalwood paste, fed with straw.  They received the twice-born with great respect and fire sacrifices began and the worship of Mount Govardhana and offered all those sweets and savories prepared.  The Supreme Lord Krishna assumed the form of a part of Mount Govardhana and kept his mouth wide open.  The people of Vraja were excited to watch the wide-opened mouth of the Mountain.  They reverentially prostrated before the cows, Bhramins and the Mountain, Krishna circumambulated the Mount Govardhana with the people of Vraja and returned to their homes.
