In the clutches of the snake, Nanda Mahaaraaja cried out, "Krishna,

Krishna, my dear boy! This huge serpent is swallowing me! Please save

me, who am surrendered to You!" (bhaagavatam 10.34.6)

 

Isn't this a little at odds with our concept of Nanda and other

devotees of Vrajabhuumi being in vaatsalya rasa? I thought the idea

was that devotees in this rasa are not aware of the Lord as the

supreme person, but rather only as their darling boy. So it seems

kind of odd that one would call out to his son when he is in danger,

and say he is surrendered unto him.

 

I invite comments from more learned/elder members of this forum to

resolve this apparent contradiction.

 

thanks,
