Autthanikotsavambabhisikta

Obeisance 19 Verses 75 to 78

1

autthānikotsavāmbābhi- śikta sañjāta-pnidra-dṛk
mahocca- śakaṭādhaḥ-stha - bāla-paryaṇka-śāyita

O Krsna, when You were three or four months old, Your mother performed a great festival to celebrate the auspicious occasion of Your being able to attempt to rise and turn around. She ceremoniously bathed You at that ceremony, but when she saw that Your eyes had all the symptoms of sleepiness, she let You fall asleep in a small bed placed under a large cart.

2

aṇjana-snigdha-nayana paryāyānkurita-smita
līlākśa-taralāloka mukhārpita-padāṇgule

O Krsna, Whose eyes are anointed with black cosmetic, after a time a smile sprouted (upon Your face), Your playful eyes began to restlessly look about, and You placed Your toe in Your mouth.

3

jayotsava- kriyāsakta- dhātrī-stanyārtha-rodana
utkśipta-caraṇāmbhoja he'no-viparivartaka

O Krsna, because Your mother was absorbed in the festive activities, she did not hear when you cried for her breast milk. O Lord, You then lifted Your lotus-foot and upturned the cart.

4

vrajānirṇeya-carita śakaṭāsura-bhaṇjana
dvijodita-svasty-ayana mantra- pūta-jlaāpluta

O Krsna, when You killed that demon who had assumed the form of a cart, all the people of Vraja were not able to understand what had happened or how. for Your protection, the brahmanas performed a ritualistic ceremony to attain good-fortune, Vedic hymns were chanted to purify You, and You were bathed with water.
