Govardhan

Hari, beholding all Gokula agitated with alarm, cowherds, cowherdesses, and cattle all in a state of consternation, thus reflected: “This is the work of Mahendra, in resentment of the prevention of his sacrifice, and it is iñcumbent on me to defend this station of herdsmen. I will lift up this spacious mountain from its stony base, and hold it up, as a large umbrella, over the cow-pens.” Having thus determined, Kṛṣṇa immediately plucked up the mountain Govarddhana, and held it aloft with one hand in sport, saying to the herdsmen, “Lo the mountain is on high; enter beneath it quickly, and it will shelter you from the storm: here you will be secure and at your ease in places defended from the wind: enter without delay, and fear not that the mountain will fall.”

Upon this, all the people, with their herds, and their waggons and goods, and the Gopīs, distressed by the rain, repaired to the shelter of the mountain, which Kṛṣṇa held steadily over their heads; and Kṛṣṇa, as he supported the mountain, was contemplated by the dwellers of Vraja with joy and wonder; and, as their eyes opened wide with astonishment and pleasure, the Gopas and Gopīs sang his praise. For seven days and nights did the vast clouds sent by Indra rain upon the Gokula of Nanda to destroy its inhabitants, but they were protected by the elevation of the mountain; and the slayer of Bala, Indra, being foiled in his purpose, commanded the clouds to cease. The threats of Indra having been fruitless, and the heavens clear, all Gokula came forth from its shelter, and returned to its own abode. Then Kṛṣṇa, in the sight of the surprised inhabitants of the forests, restored the great mountain Govarddhana to its original site
