Obeisance 25-26

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, O little cowherd boy, O delight of the gopīs, O performer of mischievous childhood pastimes in the company of Your like-minded friends of the same age, please be merciful to me.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, releasing the calves at the wrong time, You smiled to see the residents of Vraja lament. You would continually steal butter, and also feed it to the monkeys.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, entering the darkened store-room, making a staircase of the bench and the grinding mortar and pulling the ropes You broke the pots full of milk-products.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, Your limbs are illuminated with glistening jewels. Hearing the harsh complaints of the gopīs, You became frightened and Your eyes moved restlessly. In this condition You gave great delight to Mother Yaṣodā.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, O Source of the devotees's bliss, When Lord Balarāma and Your other friends reported to Mother Yasoda that You had eaten clay, considering it very palatable foodstuff, whe reprimanded You very severely, thinking of Your welfare.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, moving Your eyes with pretended fear, You hid among Your friends. Denying the accusations of Lord Balarāma and the others You vowed to Mother Yaṣoda that You were innocent.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, You opened Your small lotus mouth showed the entire universe to Mother Yaṣoda, She then understood Your transcendental opulence, although You again illsioned her by Your potency. All glories unto You.

O Lord Kṛṣṇa, in this way You increased the love of Mother Yaṣoda, who affectionately embraced You. Because You fulfilled the benediction offered by Lord Brahmā to Your devotees Droṇa and Dharā, (they were able to become Your parents).
