Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 24


Sanskrit:

न न: पुरो जनपदा न ग्रामा न गृहा वयम् । वनौकसस्तात नित्यं वनशैलनिवासिन: ॥ २४ ॥

ITRANS:

na naḥ purojanapadāna grāmā na gṛhā vayamvanaukasas tāta nityaṁvana-śaila-nivāsinaḥ

Translation:

My dear father, our home is not in the cities or towns or villages. Being forest dwellers, we always live in the forest and on the hills.

Purport:

Lord Kṛṣṇa here points out that the residents of Vṛndāvana should recognize their relationship with Govardhana Hill and with the forests of Vṛndāvana, and not worry about a distant demigod like Indra. Having concluded His argument, Lord Kṛṣṇa makes a radical proposal in the following verse.
