SUMMARY: Even though a cowboy told that he had seen boy Vasudeva roaming about in the forest by catching the tail of the bullock, people around could only believe that information after seeing the one-year-old boy returning home, still holding the tail of the bullock.  

Description of this incident amply shows that Vasudeva was an extraordinary boy with great strength, firm mind and inexplicable courage as he could follow the bullock by catching its tail into the forest as an infant of just one year.

SUMMARY: All the people felt, like a mystic bead (Chintamani) that delivers whatever one desires and like a philosopher shows the way for salvation by explaining the devotion towards Lord Vishnu, that it was the grace, empathy and kindness of Lord Anantasana that they could get back Vasudeva.

SUMMARY: Once, after the completion of some sports, boy Vasudeva suddenly came to his father and called him for having food; but the father looked at the moon-like face of his son and said “This wealthy man had sold his ox and is insisting that without the payment of the price of that ox, I cannot have food.” The father showed the boy a person standing there at that moment.
