[6] When some days had passed in this manner, having considered this, the queen of Vraja spoke to her husband with loving reproach: 'What is this unprecedented thing your honor is doing?' With that, seized by shame and apprehension, deceiving the boys, he slipped away to the forest, and with his assent, each mother out of intense affection restrained her respective son from going to the forest. [7] And being restrained, overwhelmed with longing, the two wept. Then, once having promptly concealed themselves, going near their father, granting happiness to their peers, and discerning the path, they met and played with the boys tending calves situated on the outskirts outside Vraja, and acting as their protectors, they rejoiced.
