Then the Bhagavan said to the cowherds: Mother, father, people of Vraja, come in as you please under the hollow of the hill, and bring your cattle. You need have no fear here that the hill will fall from my hand. Enough of your fear of the wind and the rain: your shelter from them has been made. So, their minds set at ease by Krsna, they went in under the hollow as there was room, with their goods, their herds, and those who lived off them. Setting aside hunger and thirst and their pain, and any thought of his own ease, watched by the people of Vraja, he held the hill up for seven days and did not move from where he stood.

Hearing of that power of Krsna's yoga, Indra was greatly astonished; his stiffness gone and his purpose broken, he called his clouds back.
