TRANSLATION

After completing the bathing ceremony for the child, mother
Yasoda received the brahmanas by worshiping them with proper
respect and giving them ample food grains and other eatables,
clothing, desirable cows, and garlands. The brahmanas properly
chanted Vedic hymns to observe the auspicious ceremony, and
when they finished and mother Yasoda saw that the child felt
sleepy, she lay down on the bed with the child until He was
peacefully asleep.

PURPORT

An affectionate mother takes great care of her child and is always anx-
ious to see that the child is not disturbed even for a moment. As long as
the child wants to remain with the mother, the mother stays with the
child, and the child feels very comfortable. Mother Yasoda saw that her
child felt sleepy, and to give Him all facilities for sleep, she lay down
with the child, and when He was peaceful, she got up to attend to her
other household affairs.
