One day a fruit-selling lady passed hawking before Nand Baba's house. Krishna heard her voice and went to her with a handful of rice for buying fruit. A child as he was, all the rice got scattered on the ground through his fingers. The fruit-seller was fascinated by Krishna's innocence and gave him a lot o~ fruit. She went away without taking anything in exchange for the fruit. When the fruit-seller reached home, she was highly astonished to see her basket filled with valuable jewels. Almost every day, some such miracle occurred in Gokul and, as a result, the people of the village felt amazed as well as frightened. They apprehended some calamity as a climax of these miracles. But when someone asked Krishna about them, he simply laughed the matter away. The falling of the trees in the absence of any storm pushed the entire village of Gokul into the jaws of untold fear. They believed this happening to be the handiwork of demons. So they held a meeting and decided to leave Gokul and settle at Vrindavan.Consequently the people of Gokul packed their belongings and putting them on bullock-carts proceeded to Vrindavan. Women, old men and children were made to sit on the carts while men armed with sticks, swords, bows and arrows walked surrounding the carts on all sides. On one cart were sitting Rohini, Yashoda, Balram and Krishna. Having reached Vrindavan, people of Gokul settled there. The cowboys used to take their cattle to the pastures for grazing. As Krishna had grown up a little more, he also insisted on going with the cowboys in order to graze the cows. But Nand Baba was not' ready to allow him to do so for fear of some untoward happening. But Krishna did not give up his demand. He stuck to it and forced Nand Baba to permit him to accompany the cowboys with little calves. His joy knew no bounds to have got the permission indeed. The cowboys were extremely happy to know that Krishna would be accompanying them in order to graze his little calves. They felicitated him on having got the permission.
