TRANSLATION

The mothers, after embracing their son, sat Him on their laps. Due to
pure affection, milk sprang from their breasts. They were overwhelmed
with delight, and the tears from their eyes wetted the Lord.

PURPORT

When Lord Krsna was at Vrndavana even the cows would become
moistened by affection towards Him, and He would draw milk from the
nipples of every affectionate living being, so what to speak of the step-
mothers who were already as good as His own mother.
