maiyā mohiṁ, dai de mākhana roṭī

English meaning

Little Kanhaiyā has just woken in the morning and is asking for bread and butter from His mother. He is kicking up a tremendous fuss, stamping His feet and pulling at His mother’s braid from behind in a child’s loving protest. In accordance with the nature of a little child, He is also making sound of ‘Āṁ, Āṁ’ and catching hold of the churning rod. When even after all this, Mother Yashodā does not listen to Him, He starts rolling on the ground, stamping His feet. Seeing this, Mother Yashodā takes Him in her lap and caressing Him with great love, teaches Him, “Rolling on the ground is bad.” She further says, “First go and wash Your mouth, then I will give You a thick bread with butter.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “At this, Shyāmasundara very innocently replied to the mother, peeping through His pītāmbara, “First feed Me bread and butter, and then I will wash My mouth.”
