बिभ्रद् वेणुं जठरपटयोः भङ्गवेत्रे च कक्षे 
  वामे पाणौ मसृणकवलं तत्फलान्यङ्गुलीषु ।

  स्वर्गे लोके मिषति बुभुजे यज्ञभुग् बालकेलिः ॥११॥

TRANSLATION
Kṛṣṇa  is yajña-bhuk—that is, He eats only offerings of yajña—but to exhibit His childhood pastimes, He now sat with His flute tucked between His waist and His tight cloth on His right side and with His horn bugle and cow-driving stick on His left. Holding in His hand a very nice preparation of yogurt and rice, with pieces of suitable fruit between His fingers, He sat like the whorl of a lotus flower, looking forward toward all His friends, personally joking with them and creating jubilant laughter among them as He ate.
