English	EN KB one-vol 2018: One day, Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma were herding the calves in the forest when They saw cows grazing on the top of Govardhana Hill. The cows could see into the valley and, upon seeing their calves, they became so melted with affection that they leaped downhill to join them, not caring about the rough path. The men taking care of the cows tried to stop them, but when they saw their own children they too were overwhelmed with an astonishing affection, and lifted and embraced their sons.
English	EN SB 10.3 1980: One day, five or six nights before the completion of the year, Kṛṣṇa, tending the calves, entered the forest along with Balarāma. Thereafter, while pasturing atop Govardhana Hill, the cows looked down to find some green grass and saw their calves pasturing near Vṛndāvana, not very far away. When the cows saw their own calves from the top. of Govardhana Hill, they forgot themselves and their caretakers because of increased affection, and although the path was very rough, they ran toward their calves with great anxiety, each running as if with one pair of legs. Their milk bags full and flowing with milk, their heads and tails raised, and their humps moving with their necks, they ran forcefully until they reached their calves to feed them. The cowherd men, having been unable to check the cows from going to their calves, felt simultaneously ashamed and angry. They crossed the rough road with great difficulty, but when they came down and saw their own sons, they were overwhelmed by great affection. At that time, all the thoughts of the cowherd men merged in the mellow of paternal love, which was aroused by the sight of their sons. Experiencing a great attraction, their anger completely disappearing, they lifted their sons, embraced them in their arms and enjoyed the highest pleasure by smelling their sons’ heads.
