Accordingly they set off with their waggons and their cattle, driving before them their bulls and cows and calves; the fragments of their household stores they threw away, and in an instant Vraja was overspread with flights of crows. Vrindávana was chosen by Krishńa, whom acts do not affect, for the sake of providing for the nourishment of the kine; for there in the hottest season the new grass springs up as verdantly as in the rains. Having repaired, then, from Vraja to Vrindávana, the inhabitants of the former drew up their waggons in the form of a crescent. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 5.6.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.26) - [Next: 5.6.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.28) - [Up: 5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.5.6.3) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.5.6.p4) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Commentaries (3) - [Ātmaprakāśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!sridhara.75.27) — Śrīdhara Svāmin, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇucittīya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!visnucitta.86.26) — Sanskrit - [Vaiṣṇavakūṭacandrikā Viṣṇupurāṇaṭīkā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!ratnagarbha) — Ratnagarbhamiśra, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.5.6.27) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.27) · Pramāṇa
