Every new exploit of Krishna went on endearing him to the people of Vrindavan and they were now devoted to him. They were really astonished at his capacities. They showered on him much more love than he had enjoyed at Gokul in his infancy. Not only Gops and Gopis, but also the livestock of Vrindavan also expressed devotion to Krishna as he had helped them out of serious troubles many a time.

The flute was the most favorite musical instrument of Krishna. Whenever he set his lips to it, the people of Vraj were lost to themselves. Its tunes cast such a spell on them that they ran to where Krishna was playing it. After killing Pralamba, Krishna, one day began to play on his flute. All the cows and calves came running and surrounded him. They enjoyed the tunes looking at him with fixed eyes. Not only this, even the birds of the forest came flying and nestled in the nearby trees to enjoy the captivating musical tunes.

As far as the Gualiyan of Vrindavan were concerned, the spell of Krishna's flute playing made them half-senseless, in a way, and they used to weave dreams about Krishna. One of these Gopis, named Radha, loved Krishna the most, so much so that she wanted to shut him in her heart for ever. Krishna too loved her most of all. At times, other Gualiyan tried to tease Radha with keen taunts in the name of Krishna. But she was madly in love with him and so she never took their taunts ill in any manner.
