Krishna complains to mother Yashoda that she has only learned to scold and beat him while never getting angry at Dau (Balaram); seeing Mohan's face flushed with anger and hearing his complaints, Yashoda feels sheer delight.
Little Krishna pouts and complains to his mother, Yashoda, saying that she only knows how to scold and punish him, while never showing any anger toward elder brother Balarama. Looking at her child's sweet, innocent face flushed with make-believe anger, Mother Yashoda does not feel annoyed at all. Instead, her heart melts with tenderness. She listens to his innocent complaints and simply rejoices in his irresistible charm. This verse beautifully captures the pure, playful affection shared between a mother and her child.
