[14] Kṛṣṇa, however, seeing them sitting up with disheveled attire, drew them all to himself at once and embraced each one individually. [15] Thus it has been said that this innate quality of his indeed transcends ordinary reasoning: assuming a matching form in whatever mood a devotee might contemplate him, he approaches them simultaneously, even manifesting instantly in many places. / [16] In this regard, the reunion with the boys was as follows: / Their sight filled with tears, their bodies stiffened, their inner minds dissolved— / when every means of union thus repeatedly became useless, / and they remained without any sense of whether this was happiness or sorrow, / no one was able to let go of anyone even a little, bound by love for a long time.
