	The Glory of Krsna's Birth
		Parjanya's auspicious birth, which identified him with the twice born as well as the cowherds, is confirmed in the Bhagavata in the words of his son, Nanda, wherein he told Gargacarya to perform the sacrament of the twice born for his own son (SB 10.8.10).
		Parjanya was as magnanimous as his namesake, the cloud, for he bestowed charity in the form of his wealth of milk products in all directions, as does the cloud pour rain indiscriminately.
		So it was that when Parjanya appropriately passed the kingdom of the cowherds to his eldest son, Upananda, he in turn, as the very first act of his rein, crowned his brother Nanda, claming himself to be but a “little (upa) Nanda.” This act met with the approval of all.

	Parjanya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Hinduism, Parjanya (parjánya) is the Vedic Sanskrit for "rain" or "raincloud".
		Personified, it is the deity of rain, often identified with Indra, the "Bull" of the Rigveda, but also associated with Varuna as a deity of clouds and as punishing sinners.
		Verses 3 to 5 describe thunderstorm and torrential rain (Monsoon) as a gift from a benevolent god, feeding plant and animal life, and "liberating the streams", an important mythological motive of the Rigveda, again connected with Indra.
