PURPORT

This is a statement from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.13.60).

After stealing the cowherd boys, calves and cows of Sri Krsna, Lord Brahma kept them asleep and hid them.

After a moment, Brahma returned to see Krsna’s condition.

When he saw that Krsna was still busy with His cowherd boyfriends and animals and was not disturbed, Lord Brahma appreciated the transcendental opulence of Vrndavana.
