SB 10.26.14

kva sapta-hayano balah

 kva mahadri-vidharanam

tato no jayate sanka

 vraja-natha tavatmaje

Translation: 

On the one hand this boy is only seven years old, and on the other we see that He has lifted the great hill Govardhana. Therefore, O King of Vraja, a doubt about your son arises within us.

SB 10.26.15

sri-nanda uvaca

sruyatam me vaco gopa

 vyetu sanka ca vo ’rbhake

enam kumaram uddisya

 gargo me yad uvaca ha

Translation:

Nanda Maharaja replied: O cowherd men, just hear my words and let all your doubts concerning my son be gone. Some time ago Garga Muni spoke to me as follows about this boy.

Purport: 

Srila Sridhara Svami comments, “The words previously heard from Gargacarya awakened Nanda Maharaja to the truth about Krsna, and thus, by Nanda’s constantly remembering His activities, all thoughts about their being impossible ceased in him. Now he is instructing the cowherd men with these same words.”
