Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesAffection Brings the Cows to Kṛṣṇa
“The cows had to move slowly because of their weighty milk bags, but they quickly ran to the Supreme Personality of Godhead as soon as He called them, their affection for Him causing their udders to become wet.”
What the purport teaches
- Nourished by new grasses, the cows became very healthy. Their full, heavy milk bags made them walk slowly.
- When Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, called them by name, they immediately ran to Him out of affection.
- Their joyful affection caused milk to flow from their udders.
