Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 11

Sanskrit:

श्रीशुक उवाचवचो निशम्य कृपणं बन्धूनां भगवान् हरि: ।निमीलयत मा भैष्ट लोचनानीत्यभाषत ॥ ११ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-śuka uvācavaco niśamya kṛpaṇaṁbandhūnāṁ bhagavān hariḥnimīlayata mā bhaiṣṭalocanānīty abhāṣata

Translation:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Hearing these pitiful words from His friends, the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa told them, “Just close your eyes and do not be afraid.”

Purport:

This verse clearly reveals the simple, sublime relationship between Kṛṣṇa and His pure devotees. The Absolute Truth, the supreme almighty Lord, is actually a young, blissful cowherd boy named Kṛṣṇa. God is youthful, and His mentality is playful. When He saw that His beloved friends were terrified of the forest fire, He simply told them to close their eyes and not be afraid. Then Lord Kṛṣṇa acted, as described in the next verse.
