Sukadeva Gosvami continued: O Maharaja Pariksit, when the yamala-arjuna trees fell, all the cowherd men in the neighborhood, hearing the fierce sound and fearing thunderbolts, went to the spot.SB 10.11.02
bhumyam nipatitau tatra
dadrsur yamalarjunau
babhramus tad avijñaya
laksyam patana-karanamTranslation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
There they saw the fallen yamala-arjuna trees on the ground, but they were bewildered because even though they could directly perceive that the trees had fallen, they could not trace out the cause for their having done so.Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Considering all the circumstances, had this been done by Kṛṣṇa? He was standing on the spot, and His playmates described that this had been done by Him. Had Kṛṣṇa actually done this, or were these merely stories? This was a cause of bewilderment.
