Purport
You have serpent as Your bed and You are thehead of cowherd clan, Krishna, You have slept
overnight without consuming my breast milk. It's late
morning the next day, still your stomach is empty.
Krishna, wake up and suck milk from me by placing
Your beautiful mouth on my breasts
and kicking with Your tiny legs.

Purport
After Your birth all the stocks of milk, curd,butter and ghee disappeared. I fail to recollect seeing
these things, since You started consuming them
as quickly as these were produced! I will not scold
You. You can do whatever You wish. Come smiling
and suck milk from my breasts to the full.

Purport
Krishna, You would beat up Your playmates,make them cry and enjoy watching them cry.
The mothers of the affected boys would angrily
come to me and report about Your wrong doings.
Helpless I am, I can only say that neither your
father disciplines You nor do I get angry at You!
I plead You to come and suck milk from my breasts.

Purport
Instigated by kamsa, when the wheeled demon(ChakatAsurA) came rushing to kill You, You-
the God of Gods- employed Your tender legs to decimate
the demon. The whole cowherd clan was concerned to
know if any harm had been done to Your legs because of
kicking the demon. I was deeply worried too, but
You tactfully went on to kill kamsa. I now
plead You to come and suck milk from my breasts.

Purport
I caution You, Krishna, the evil minded kamsais lurking around to catch You any moment. I
advise You not to venture out alone. If kamsa
were to catch You then I may not live anymore.
I plead You, the beacon light of Gokulam,
to come and suck milk from my breasts.

Purport
Having waist resembling a streak of lightning, withbees hovering over their flower bedecked hairs looking
for honey, the women of Srivilliputhur, on seeing
You would exclaim in wonder, O! what penance did
I perform to beget You? I am grateful to
You for making me praiseworthy. I now plead
You to come and suck milk from my breasts.

Purport
Seeing You, some women yearning to beget a child likeYou, would endlessly stand near You and watch over You.
Some other women, with their flower bedecked hairs swarmed
by bees in search of honey,would wait for an opportunity to
take You away with them to taste the nectar flowing
from Your sweet mouth. I plead O! Govinda,
come and suck milk from my breasts.

change positions and suck milk from my breasts!

As You ran, the ankle bells made musical sounds andas You walked swaying to the left and right, to the
matching sounds of Your lotus feet, it looked like a

Please come and suck milk from my breasts!

O! Maadhavaa, 'please come and suck milk from my breasts'were the words with which Yasoda invited Krishna and the
related events were narrated by the renowned periAzhwAr
of Srivilliputhur, a beautiful place surrounded by fragrant
water bodies. Those who are able to recite these pAsurams
with faith will be endowed with a mind devoted to the red
eyed Lord Narayana, who always shines with auspicious qualities!
