The villagers were convinced by Krishna, and did not proceed with the special puja (prayer). He continued to say that all human beings should merely do their 'dharma', to the best of their ability and not pray or conduct sacrifices for natural phenomenon. They were farmers, they should do their duty and concentrate on farming and protection of their cattle. He debated with the villagers about what their 'dharma' truly was.

The parikarma path of Govardhan hill is intersected by some part of district Bharatpur of Rajasthan. At the southern end of the hill is the village of Punchari, while at the crest stand the villages of Aanyor and Jatipura. Govardhan Hill, stretching from Radha Kund to south of Govardhan, is a long ridge that, at its highest, stands 100 feet (30 m) above the surrounding land. Thus, by residing in the foothills of Govardhan Hill, all the senses and the respective duties of a soul attain divinity and are more inclined to perform service to Krishna. In this connection, it is believed that the personality of Govardhan blesses the devotee by increasing his devotion ( bhakti). Another meaning of 'Go' is 'the senses' and 'vardhana' can also mean 'to increase' - thus the name is also translated by devotees of Krishna as 'that which increases the senses' in their attraction to Krishna. In the literal meaning, 'Go' translates to 'cows', and 'vardhana' translates to 'nourishment'. The name 'Govardhana' has two primary translations.
