babies would catch the ends of the calves’ tails, and the calves
would drag Them here and there. When the ladies saw these
pastimes, they certainly stopped their household activities and
laughed and enjoyed the incidents.
PURPORT
While crawling in curiosity, Krsna and Balarama would sometimes
catch the ends of the tails of calves. The calves, feeling that someone had
caught them, would begin to flee here and there, and the babies would
hold on very tightly, being afraid of how the calves were moving. The
calves, seeing that the babies were holding them tightly, would also be-
come afraid. Then the ladies would come to rescue the babies and gladly
laugh. This was their enjoyment.
