Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
For a description of how the Lord protected the cowherds, one should refer to Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Tenth Canto, Chapters Fifteen, Nineteen, and Twenty-five.
In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.31.3) it is stated:
viṣa-jalāpyayād vyāla-rākṣasād varṣa-mārutād vaidyutānalāt vṛṣa-mayātmajād viśvato bhayād
“O greatest of personalities, You have repeatedly saved us from all kinds of danger—from poisoned water, from the terrible man-eater Agha, from the great rains, from the wind demon, from the fiery thunderbolt of Indra, from the bull demon, and from the son of Maya Dānava.”
