5In Braj, Shyamsundar lifts baskets full of cow dung onto
6the Gopis’ heads. He says to a Gopi, “What will you
7give Me for lifting this basket?” The Gopi replies, “You
8like butter a lot. Come to my home and I will give You
9butter.” Shyamsundar says, “How will I remember how
10many baskets I lifted for you?” The Gopi replied, “For
11every basket You lift, I will make a mark on Your cheeks
12with cow dung. I will give You as many handfuls of
13butter as there are marks on Your cheeks.” In this way,
14to count the number of baskets, the Gopi completely
15covered the cheeks of the innocent little Shyamsundar
16with marks of cow dung.
