The doubts of Brahma after seeing all of this are now described in two verses. "Where have all these boys and calves that I see come from? Are these the ones bewildered by my maya? Or are they other boys and calves brought by Krsna? From here (itah) a little distant, there (pointing with his forefinger) in the forest of Gokula they are playing with Krsna. Different from the ones I bewildered, where did those ones come from? What are they?"

For this reason (itaḥ), who are these boys here playing, different from those under my māyā? Or, these boys who are sleeping by my māyā are over there (itaḥ). From where did these other boys not under my māyā come? For one year these boys have been playing with Kṛṣṇa.
