10 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 13

TRANSLATION

Among the cowherd boys, some placed their lunch on flowers,
some on leaves, fruits, or bunches of leaves, some actually in their
baskets, some on the bark of trees and some on rocks. This is what
the children imagined to be their plates as they ate their lunch.

TRANSLATION

All the cowherd boys enjoyed their lunch with Krsna, showing
one another the different tastes of the different varieties of prepa-
rations they had brought from home. Tasting one another’s prepa-
rations, they began to laugh and make one another laugh.

PURPORT

Sometimes one friend would say, ‘“‘Krsna, see how my food is relish-
able,” and Krsna would take some and laugh. Similarly, Balarama,
Sudama and other friends would taste one another’s food and laugh. In
this way, the friends very jubilantly began to eat their respective prepa-
rations brought from home.
