mātu ṭuka suna le yākī bāta

English meaning

In replication of Ṭhākura Jī’s reply, the sakhī says, “Oh Mother! Just listen to what Kanhaiyā is saying. He is yet unable to fabricate stories perfectly, therefore pauses in between while He talks. Oh Mother! Just think yourself, how can a cat reach a chhīkā hung so high?” Hearing this, Ṭhākura Jī said at once, “Listen, Oh Mother! How she is telling tales. Just ask this sakhī that how can I, so small, reach her chhīkā hung so high?” Ṭhākura Jī further said with a little anger, “Mother! You don’t scold these sakhīs who bring false complaints against Me. Instead you get angry on Me only.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that after listening to Ṭhākura Jī’s logic, the sakhī became silent and feeling piqued, returned to her home, drooping her head down.
