Sometimes they sang in chorus, or danced together; sometimes they sought shelter from the cold beneath the trees; sometimes they decorated themselves with flowery garlands, sometimes with peacocks' feathers; sometimes they stained themselves of various hues with the minerals of the mountain; sometimes weary they reposed on beds of leaves, and sometimes imitated in mirth the muttering of the thundercloud; sometimes they excited their juvenile associates to sing, and sometimes they mimicked the cry of the peacock with their pipes. In this manner participating in various feelings and emotions, and affectionately attached to each other, they wandered, sporting and happy, through the wood. At eveningtide came Krishńa and Balaráma, like two cow-boys, along with the cows and the cowherds. At eveningtide the two immortals, having come to the cow-pens, joined heartily in whatever sports amused the sons of the herdsmen. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition ### [5.6.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.45) kvacid gobhiḥ samaṃ ramyaṃ geyatānaratāv ubhau ceratuḥ kvacid atyarthaṃ śītavṛkṣatalāśrayau // ### [5.6.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.46) kvacit kadambasrakcitrau mayūrasragdharau kvacit vicitrau kvacid āsātāṃ vividhair giridhātubhiḥ // ### [5.6.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.47) parṇaśayyāsu saṃsuptau kvacin nidrāntaraiṣiṇau kvacid garjati jīmūte hāhākāraravādṛtau // ### [5.6.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.48) gāyatām anyagopānāṃ praśaṃsāparamau kvacit mayūrakekānugatau gopaveṇupravādakau // ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.5.6.6) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.5.6.p7) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Commentaries (3) - [Viṣṇucittīya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!visnucitta.86.43) — Sanskrit - [Ātmaprakāśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!sridhara.75.48) — Śrīdhara Svāmin, 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.5.6.44) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.44-48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.6.44-48) · Pramāṇa
