The Nectar of Devotion
Yaśodā, please don’t be worried. Please dry your beautiful lotus-like face. There is no need for you to breathe so hotly. I will go immediately with Akrūra to the palace of Kamsa and get your son back for you.” Here is an instance of anxiety in ecstatic love caused by Krṣṇa’s awkward position.
