Serve Mother Yashoda

(From Madhurya-Tattva-Vijnana, by Sri Ananta Dasa Babaji Maharaja)

atizaya zizumati manda-manda gati

kambu kaNTha pari’ motima mAlavara
lambita ruru-nakha sAje ||
aneka sAdha kari kare navanIta bhari

so nAhi khAota kSititale DArata
iha mora karama abhAgI ||
vaMzI kahaye zuna mAtA yazomati
tohAri caraNe karoG sevA |
e tuyA nandana bhuvana-vimohana
puNa-phale pAoi kebA ||

“‘Absorbed in his childlike state, Sri Krishna walked very slowly, his waist bells jingling. Suspended from his conch-like neck were a string of fine pearls and a tiger’s claw. With great pleasure, I filled his hands with butter to eat, but instead of eating it, he dropped it on the ground. Such is my misfortune.’ Vamsidasa says, ‘Listen: whoever serves the lotus feet of Mother Yasomati gets her son, the enchanter of all worlds.’”
