Synonyms
pitarau — the actual father and mother of Kṛṣṇa; na — not; anvavindetām — enjoyed; kṛṣṇa — of Kṛṣṇa; udāra — magnanimous; arbhaka-īhitam — the childhood pastimes He performed; gāyanti — are glorifying; adya api — even today; kavayaḥ — great, great sages and saintly persons; yat — which is; loka-śamala-apaham — by hearing of which the contamination of the whole material world is vanquished.

Translation

Although Kṛṣṇa was so pleased with Vasudeva and Devakī that He descended as their son, they could not enjoy Kṛṣṇa’s magnanimous childhood pastimes, which are so great that simply chanting about them vanquishes the contamination of the material world. Nanda Mahārāja and Yaśodā, however, enjoyed these pastimes fully, and therefore their position is always better than that of Vasudeva and Devakī.
