"A person who knows the languages ofdifferent countries, especially the Sanskrit language, which is spoken in the cities of the demigods-as well as other, worldly languages, including those of the animals--is called a wonderful linguist. It appears from this statement that Krishna can also speak and understand the languages of the animals. An old woman in Vrndavana, present at the time of Krishna's pastimes, once stated in surprise, 'How wonderful it is that Krishna, who owns the hearts of all the young girls of Vrajabhumi, can nicely speak the language of Vrajabhumi to the gopis, while in Sanskrit He speaks with the demigods, and in the language of the animals he can even speak with the cows and buffalo! Similarly, in the language of the Kashmir province, and with the parrots and other birds, as well as in most common languages, Krishna is so expressive!' She inquired from the gopis as to how Krishna had become so expert in speaking so many different types of languages."
