SUMMARY: Madhyageha, whose eyes were filled with tears earlier due to the disappearance of his son but had controlled it from flowing out of the eyes, again controlled the tears of joy that was overflowing after seeing Vasudeva and said: 

Ayi sutEdamudAhara tattwatO nanu samAgatavAnasi sAmpratam|

SwajanatArahitasya tu kO(a)tra tE sahacharO(a)rBhaka deerGhatamE paThi||11||

SUMMARY: “Son, tell me the truth. You have travelled such a long distance now. Who was there with you especially because none of your dearest was there with you?”

It must be realised here that Vasudeva was hardly three year old when this incident happened. This information has been mentioned in Anu Madhwavijaya.

It must also be said that the question and anxiety of Madhyageha was understandable because it is highly unimaginable that a three-year-old boy could walk a distance of over Two Yojanas, alone, say the scholars.

SUMMARY: Hearing those words of his father, the lotus-eyed Vasudeva averred in broken words “Till going up to him and then proceeding further from him, Kudavur Narayana was giving me company!”

The reply of Vasudeva to his father is a clear indication, according to scholars, that even as a boy of three, he was aware that Lord Narayana will be protecting everyone and none can consider himself or herself as an orphan on this earth, though it depends entirely on the person concerned to have such a firm faith and belief.
