Synonyms
padbhyām — by the two lotus feet; bhakta-hṛdi-sthābhyām — which are always thought of by pure devotees, in whose heart the Lord is therefore situated constantly; vandyābhyām — which are always to be praised; loka-vanditaiḥ — by Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva, who are praised by all the inhabitants of the three worlds; aṅgam — the body; yasyāḥ — of whom (Pūtanā); samākramya — embracing; bhagavān — the Supreme Personality of Godhead; api — also; tat-stanam — that breast; yātudhānī api — although she was a witch (whose only business was to kill small children and who had tried to kill Kṛṣṇa also); sā — she; svargam — the transcendental abode; avāpa — achieved; jananī-gatim — the position of a mother; kṛṣṇa-bhukta-stana-kṣīrāḥ — therefore, because their breasts were sucked by Kṛṣṇa, who drank the milk flowing from their bodies; kim u — what to speak of; gāvaḥ — the cows; anumātaraḥ — exactly like mothers (who allowed their nipples to be sucked by Kṛṣṇa).

Translation

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is always situated within the core of the heart of the pure devotee, and He is always offered prayers by such worshipable personalities as Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva. Because Kṛṣṇa embraced Pūtanā’s body with great pleasure and sucked her breast, although she was a great witch, she attained the position of a mother in the transcendental world and thus achieved the highest perfection. What then is to be said of the cows whose nipples Kṛṣṇa sucked with great pleasure and who offered their milk very jubilantly with affection exactly like that of a mother?
