[Kṛṣṇa says] O Mother! I will drink milk only on the condition that it will taste very nice; bring the milk which I milched out of the cow — feed me only that milk.||1||
[Kṛṣṇa continues] I will not drink
the milk from any other cow, even if you process it in a million ways.
The mother replies that the milk is from the same cow; but
Kānhā didn't believe and asked Yaśodā again and
again for a pledge.||2||
[Yaśodā says] Who is dearer to me
than You? She tries to persuade Kānhā again and again.
‘‘Sūradāsa’’ says that mother brought
the requested milk from the particular cow for Śyāma.||3||
