बिभर्ति क्वचिदाज्ञप्त: पीठकोन्मानपादुकम् । बाहुक्षेपं च कुरुते स्वानां च प्रीतिमावहन् ॥ ८ ॥
bibharti kvacid ājñaptaḥ pīṭhakonmāna-pādukam bāhu-kṣepaṁ ca kurute svānāṁ ca prītim āvahan
کبھی یشودا اور گپی سہیلیاں کہتیں: “یہ لاؤ، وہ لاؤ”؛ لکڑی کا تختہ، لکڑی کی پادُکا یا ناپنے کا برتن منگواتیں۔ حکم پا کر کرشن انہیں اٹھانے کی کوشش کرتے، کبھی نہ اٹھا سکنے والے کی طرح چھو کر کھڑے رہ جاتے؛ اور اپنے عزیزوں کو خوش کرنے کے لیے بازو جھٹک کر طاقت دکھاتے۔
