18Then Surabhi, who has a mind of her own, bowed to Krsna and, with her offspring, called upon the Lord who wore a cowherd's form. 19Krsna, Krsna, great yogin, self of all, source of all, Unfallen: in you, lord of the worlds, we have our lord. 20You are our highest divinity; you are our Indra, lord of the world. Be for the good of the cows and the brahmins and the gods, and of all who are good. 21We shall bathe you as our Indra; Brahma has urged us to it. Self of all, you have come down to take away the burden of the earth. 22So Surabhi called upon Krsna, and with her own milk, and with the waters of the Ganga of the sky lifted up in Airavata's trunk,
23Indra, together with the sages of the gods and urged on by the mothers of the gods, bathed the Dasarha, and named him Govinda.
