PLATE SIX
Krṣṇa would sometimes enter the house of a neighbor and steal curd, butter and milk from the pots in the storeroom. Then the cowherd men would find Him and angrily say, “Here is the butter thief! Better capture Him!” But Krṣṇa would simply go on eating the curd and butter, and when He smiled at the cowherd men they would forget everything. ( pp. 113–14 )
