The vedas are searching for him even now. The Upanishads have not been able to describe one of his characteristics. The twin marutha trees (described in the previous verse) enjoyed the leelas of Krishna and even after they were released from the curse and became humans again did not want to go to their home and stayed back to enjoy some more of his child play. The Yamuna river was the witness  to his youthful acts. Swami Vedantha Desika says “I always experience that Krishna in my vision”. This vision is due to Swami always doing dhyanam of Lord Krishna.
