300x222
"To the Supreme Lord, whose form embodies eternity knowledge, and bliss, whose earrings swing to and fro, who shines beautifully in Gokula, who due to the offense of breaking the pot of yogurt that His mother was churning into butter and then stealing the butter that was kept hanging from a swing] quickly ran from the grinding mortar in fear of Mother Yasoda, and who was finally caught from behind by her, who ran faster than He—to that Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, I offer my humble obeisances." -Verse 1 of Sri Damodarastaka, from the Padma PuranaPainted in 1977.
