suvarana varnO hemAngO

Courtesy: Sri.VVR
सुवर्णवर्ण: हॆमांग: वराङ्ग: चन्दनाङ्गदी
वीरहा विषम: शून्यॊ घृताशीरचलश्चल: II अमानी

It was perhaps one of those days when the Lord chose to become the little lovely child of Yashoda.

One day she finds the colourful body ( सुवर्णवर्ण: ) of Krishna besmeared with mud ( हॆमांग: ). Perhaps He was just out of a wrestling combat--(मल्लयुद्ध‌) with
 some wicked boys ( वीरहा ). It should have been a fierce combat necessitating some amount of rolling on the ground. Yashoda takes Him away and gives a
 good (thrash and a) wash ( वराङ्ग: ) and anoints His comely body with sandal paste (चन्दनाङ्गदी ). Then on enquiry she comes to know of His impish activities ( विषम: )
 though He remains all the while denying ( शून्य: ). He must have been awfully humiliated ( अमानी ) when found to have entered house after house and lurking there
( अचल: चल: ) for stealing butter which He was so fond of ( घृताशी: ). The mud and dust on the body should have been the result of a scuffle among the cowherd urchins
while sharing the booty. That is a window in the Sahasranaama where one may build mentally some romance and melodrama. Imagination is (v)only your limit.
