gopah—the cowherd men; parasparam—on one another; hrstah—
being so pleased; dadhi—with curd; ksira—with condensed milk; ghrta-
ambubhih—with water mixed with butter; dsificantah—sprinkling;
vilimpantah—smearing; navanitaih ca—and with butter; ciksipuh—
they threw on one another.

TRANSLATION

In gladness, the cowherd men enjoyed the great festival by
splashing one another’s bodies with a mixture of curd, condensed
milk, butter and water. They threw butter on one another and
smeared it on one another’s bodies.

PURPORT

From this statement we can understand that five thousand years ago
not only was there enough milk, butter and curd to eat, drink and cook
with, but when there was a festival it would be thrown about without
restriction. There was no limit to how extensively milk, butter, curd and
other such products were used in human society. Everyone had an ample
stock of milk, and by using it in many varied milk preparations, people
would keep good health in natural ways and thus enjoy life in Krsna
consciousness.
