Varṣā-Śarad Vṛndāvana-Śobha: The Beauty of the Rainy and Autumn Seasons in Vraja
धेनवो मन्दगामिन्य ऊधोभारेण भूयसा । ययुर्भगवताहूता द्रुतं प्रीत्या स्नुतस्तना: ॥ २६ ॥
dhenavo manda-gāminya ūdho-bhāreṇa bhūyasā yayur bhagavatāhūtā drutaṁ prītyā snuta-stanāḥ
Burdened by their heavy, milk-filled udders, the cows moved slowly; yet as soon as the Bhagavān called them, they ran swiftly in affection, their udders moist with milk from love.
Śrīla Prabhupāda comments, “The cows, being fed by new grasses, became very healthy, and their milk bags were all very full. When Lord Kṛṣṇa called them by name, they immediately came to Him out of affection, and in their joyful condition the milk flowed from their bags.”
