कृष्णबन्धनम्– THE BINDING OF
 
KRISHNA
 
एकदा गृहदासीषु यशोदा नन्दगेहिनी ।
कर्मान्तरनियुक्तासु निर्ममन्थ स्वयं दधि ।

Once, when the servant-maids of the
house were engaged in other work,
Yasoda, the wife of Nanda, was herself
churning the curd.
 
तां स्तन्यकाम आसाद्य मध्नन्तीं जननीं हरिः ।
गृहीत्वा दधिमन्थानं न्यषेधत् प्रीतिमावहन् ॥
 
Desiring milk, Krishna approached His
mother who was churning, caught hold of
the churning rod, and delighting (His
mother), prevented her (from churning).
 
तमकमारूढमपाययत् स्तनं
स्नेहस्नुतं सस्मितमीक्षती मुखम् ।
अतृप्तमुत्सृज्य जवेन सा ययौ
उत्सिच्यमाने पयसि त्वधिश्रिते ॥
 
She suckled Him, who had mounted
her lap, with her breast which flowed of
itself in love, and looked at His face with
a smile. (But) even when He was not yet-
satisfied, she left Him in haste and went
away as the milk on the oven was boiling
over.
