whose lips quivered with pretended anger
Caught and bound, the toddler Kṛṣṇa's lower lip trembles in mock-anger and mock-fear; the gopīs surrounding the scene laugh at the affecting display.

whose lips quivered with pretended anger
Caught and bound, the toddler Kṛṣṇa's lower lip trembles in mock-anger and mock-fear; the gopīs surrounding the scene laugh at the affecting display.
who surveyed the courtyard of the cow-pen
Tied to the mortar in the goṣṭha courtyard, the child gazes around at the familiar yard — the spot where his exploits had unfolded — now from his bound position.
who broke the curd-churning pot
Among Kṛṣṇa's butter-thefts, the breaking of curd-churning pots (dadhi-mantha-ghaṭī) is most celebrated; the sound of cracking pottery alerts the gopīs to his presence.
given away by the jingling of his waist-bells
The little bells on Kṛṣṇa's anklets and waist-chain reveal his presence even when he tries to be silent; the tinkling sound (kiṅkiṇī-kvāṇa) tells the gopīs he is near.
