Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesYaśodā Is Overwhelmed With Love
“As mother Yaśodā heard the descriptions of her son’s activities, she poured out her tears, and milk flowed from her breasts out of love.”
What the purport teaches
- Hearing descriptions of her son’s activities, mother Yaśodā poured out tears, and milk flowed from her breasts out of love.
- Since Kṛṣṇa had left for Mathurā, she could see nothing but His face. Even the counsel and consolation of hundreds of people could not turn her attention elsewhere.
- She was so overwhelmed with love for Kṛṣṇa that she could not recognize Uddhava, ask him questions or give him a message for her son.
