enfolded in his mother's love
Yaśodā's love for the child is the model of vātsalya-bhakti; she embraces him in every mood — tenderness, anger, fear, pride — and the embrace is the entire relationship.
सवित्रीस्नेहसंश्लिष्टः सवित्रीस्तनलोलुपः ।नवनीतार्थनाप्रह्वो नवनीतमहाशनः॥
savitrīsnehasaṃśliṣṭaḥ savitrīstanalolupaḥ ·navanītārthanāprahvo navanītamahāśanaḥ
enfolded in his mother's love
Yaśodā's love for the child is the model of vātsalya-bhakti; she embraces him in every mood — tenderness, anger, fear, pride — and the embrace is the entire relationship.
eager for his mother's breast
When Yaśodā sits down to nurse Kṛṣṇa while churning, he leaves the pot and comes eagerly to her breast; the milk overflowing on the fire becomes the occasion for the binding.
who bowed and coaxed in begging for butter
Kṛṣṇa stands by Yaśodā as she churns, asking for butter; she promises 'when I finish'; impatient, he interrupts the churning to nurse instead.
the great eater of fresh butter
'Great butter-eater' — Kṛṣṇa eats so much butter and curd that he never seems satiated; the gopīs of Gokula calculate that more butter goes missing than Yaśodā's churn ever produces.
