why did you grow up in Nandas gokula in secrecy? was it not to hide your glory from others? if so why did you stop the Indra festival and make him come to Gokula for waging war? by this act your presence would surely be revealed ?

why did you hold the Govardhan hill for seven days. that act was so revelatory of your divine origins

why were you upsetwith the cowheards who asked you if you were a god etc.

The three questions relating to the lifting of the Govardhana hill to protect the cowherd families and the cattle from Indran's fury are posed in this Slokam. Meaning:   Oh SundarabAhu! Long time ago, when You hid Your paratvam as sarveSvaran and stopped the Gokulam people from celebrating the usual Bhogi day festival to celebrate Indra, what was the reason? Why did You ask them to stop it? At that time, You lifted the Govardhana hill and held it as an umbrella to protect the people and their cattle from the fury of Indra, who sent rain in the form of stones. You held that unusual umbrella for seven long days?Why did You hold it for such a long time? Why did You get angry with Your friends witnessing this atimAnusha lIlA, when they asked whether You are a devan to accomplish such an extraordinary feat?  There was no reason to propitiate Indran, when the Lord Himself was there as sarva karma samArAdhyan. Otherwise, it will be devatAntara ArAdhanam. Lord has said in this context: "I am the acceptor/consumer of all Havis from yaj~nAs, tapas as sarvaloka maheSvaran. Please recognize Me as the friend and well wisher of every one and attain tranquility ".When the feast for Indran was stopped at the suggestion of KrshNa, Indran rained torrents of stones (kal mazhai) to harm AypADi. KrshNa uplifted the Govardhana Giri and held it with His little finger over the people and animals of AypADi and protected them from the wrath of Indran. The answer to the question "Why did You hold that Giri for seven long days?" Is it to teach a lesson to the haughty Indran that his assumptions about KrshNa getting tired and that He would have to put down the Giri quickly. KrshNa was ready to hold it as long as it was necessary for Indran's ahambhAvam to be destroyed. The third question was about the Lord getting angry, when friends of AypADi asked Him, whether He was a devA to perform such a stupendous act. KrshNa got angry because the answer to their question would counter all the efforts that He took to hide His Paratvam
