Hari is playing and swaying at the home of Nand. Yashoda (or Yashomati) is doing the work of kitchen while Krishna is chirping and crackling with joy.||1||
Yashoda asked Krishna, ‘‘Why don't you run and come here?’’ Recognizing mother's voice, Krishna starts moving towards Yashoda crawling on his knees.||2||
Yashoda lifted Krishna in her lap and started cleaning his soiled legs and hands with her clothes¹. She asks, while stroking away the dust, ‘‘O Dear! Where did you get all this soil from?’’||3||
Notes:
¹ Since Yashoda asked Krishna to run , It appears that He crawled to gather dust and bother Yashoda as a part of His naughtiness.
