English translation
Yaśodā appearing to have sneha:
“O queen of Vraja! The Gaṅgā River has sprung up through streams of sweet milk falling from the mountains of your breasts, and the Yamunā has sprung up through the tears mixed with black mascara falling from your lotus eyes. Those rivers are mixing on the altar of your torso. Being bathed at the junction of the two rivers, you clearly desire to see the face of your son.”
