TRANSLATION
Krsna is yajiia-bhuk—that is, He eats only offerings of yajia—

but to exhibit His childhood pastimes, He now sat with His flute
tucked between His waist and His tight cloth on His right side and
with His horn bugle and cow-driving stick on His left. Holding in
His hand a very nice preparation of yogurt and rice, with pieces of
suitable fruit between His fingers, He sat like the whorl of a lotus
flower, looking forward toward all His friends, personally joking
with them and creating jubilant laughter among them as He ate. At .
