The cowherds brought the joyful news. The Lord had come back with the ball. At the door she saw the banner of joy. They told the happy news with great excitement. The mothers were overjoyed and performed the ritual warding off the evil eye, waving offerings over the cowherds. All of Gokul gathered around the cowherds, everyone, young and old. Great joy and celebration arose. They told how Govinda had risen from the pool. Narayana came up from the water, seated upon the subdued Kaliya. They marched out of the village in a festive procession, with instruments and all manner of joyful sounds. The cowherds walked ahead of Narayana, dancing and singing in ecstasy. Then they beheld the Lord of Vaikuntha. All fell to the ground in prostration. Everyone was embraced with one feeling, and all became Hari. Through Hari's embrace they became Hari's form, forgetting themselves entirely. God gave the same bliss to all: to parents, to the guardians of the world. Says Tuka, God has no favorites among parents and guardians. All are the same to Him.
