dragged along clutching a calf's tail
In one game, Kṛṣṇa grabs a calf's tail; the calf drags him stumbling through the goṣṭha; the gopīs run to rescue him while laughing.

dragged along clutching a calf's tail
In one game, Kṛṣṇa grabs a calf's tail; the calf drags him stumbling through the goṣṭha; the gopīs run to rescue him while laughing.
who tugged at the calves' tails
Kṛṣṇa grabs the calf's tail and pulls; the calf tries to escape; the tug-of-war between toddler and calf becomes a spectacle for the entire goṣṭha.
who made others forget every other task
Whenever Kṛṣṇa appears in the courtyard, the gopīs forget what they were doing and gather to watch him; even the churning-women forget their churning.
who brought joy to the cowherd men and women
Every action of Kṛṣṇa generates spontaneous joy in the entire cowherd community; his presence is itself their joy.
