Gokula’s Wonder, Kṛṣṇa’s Bhakta-vaśyatā, the Move to Vṛndāvana, and the Slaying of Vatsāsura and Bakāsura
बिभर्ति क्वचिदाज्ञप्त: पीठकोन्मानपादुकम् । बाहुक्षेपं च कुरुते स्वानां च प्रीतिमावहन् ॥ ८ ॥
bibharti kvacid ājñaptaḥ pīṭhakonmāna-pādukam bāhu-kṣepaṁ ca kurute svānāṁ ca prītim āvahan
有时母亲雅输达与诸牧女吩咐说“把这个拿来、把那个拿来”,命祂搬木板、木屐或量器。克里希纳奉命便去尝试;有时似乎举不动,只是触摸后站着。为取悦亲人,祂挥动双臂,显出自己有力。
This verse describes how child Kṛṣṇa would sometimes follow instructions—carrying small household items like a seat, measuring rod, or sandals—charming His family and the Vraja residents and increasing their affection.
To highlight Kṛṣṇa’s bāla-līlā: the Supreme Lord voluntarily acts like a simple village child, delighting His devotees through intimate, humanlike pastimes that deepen their parental and familial love.
Serve cheerfully even in small tasks, and cultivate loving relationships through simple, sincere acts—seeing devotion not only in grand rituals but also in everyday service done with affection.
