Verse 44

'Imitator of bees' — Kṛṣṇa hums the bumblebee's buzz with such accuracy that bees gather around him; one of the Bhāgavata's many descriptions of his animal mimicry.

'Curd-rice thief' — beyond butter, Kṛṣṇa also steals curd-rice (dadhyanna); the gopīs find their cooked curd-rice meals mysteriously diminished after each of his visits.

Kṛṣṇa walks in front (puraḥ-sara) of the calves as their leader; the image of the Lord leading the calves through the Vṛndāvana woods becomes one of bhakti's central icons.

'The mighty one' — even as an infant, Kṛṣṇa's strength is supreme; the Bhāgavata uses this name to remind that the toddler who is being fondled wields infinite power.

'Who grasped Baka' — when the stork-demon Baka swallows Kṛṣṇa whole, he expands his body within; Baka spits him out and tries to split him with its beak — Kṛṣṇa grasps and rips the beak apart.

'Who burned the palate of Baka' — Kṛṣṇa heats his body inside Baka's mouth, burning the demon's throat and palate from within; the demon spits him out gagging in pain.
