64-75 The Scene at Nandagrāma

64-69 Meanwhile, as the late afternoon arrives, Vrajeśwarī Yaśodā becomes over- anxious with vātsalya affection to prepare Kṛṣṇa's evening bhojan. Thus, she calls Rohiṇī and requests her to start the cooking.Then Yaśodā asks Atula Ṭhākurani to assist Rohiṇī. Nanda and Yaśodā are always eager to offer the best ingredients for Kṛṣṇa's bhojan. So, they engage expert gardeners for growing crops belonging to grīṣma (summer), harṣā (monsoon), śarata (autumn) and vasanta (spring).

Employing their talents in planting and cross-breedings, the gardeners can produce vegetables, fruits and roots of any season at all times of the year. Now they collect these items in baskets and deliver them to the kitchen.

Ṭīkā: Nanda Mahārāj has four brothers—Upananda and Abhinanda are older, and Sananda and Nandana are younger. Atula is Nandana's wife.
The Vrājavāsīs are renowned for their farming skill. Still Nanda Bābā selects amongest them the top-notch experts to look after his gardening needs. These cultivators have taken charge of six different fields (one for each season) to produce the best vegetables, roots, śāka and spices whenever needed.

Although Śrī Vṛndāvana is cintāmaṇi Dhāmaa, its six seasons automatically maṇifest their opulences, and although the soil can produce anything that is desired, Nanda Bābā gives full credit to his gardeners, being unaware of mādhura Vṛndāvan's incredible aiśvarya features.

70-72 Yaśodā and her Dāsis wash all of the products and divide them into two batches—one for the evening cooking and for the cooking of tomorrow-morning.Yaśodā engages her Dāsas and Dāsis, as well as her sisters-in-law (Atula and Rohiṇī) in their respective duties. Thus, she roams about to inspect everyone's progress.

Ṭīkā: The wife of a brother-in-law is a sister-in-law, but Rohiṇī isn't the wife of any of Yaśodā's brother-in-law; she is married to Vasudeva. Therefore, a question arises; "Why is Rohiṇī referred to as Yaśodā's sister-in-law?" here is the reason: Vasudeva and Nanda's grandfather are the same person, namely Devamīḍa, who had two wives, one was a kshatriya and other a vaiśya. From the kshatriya wife's womb Vasudeva's father, Śurasena, was born. And Devamīḍa's vaiśya-wife bore the son Parjanya gopa, who is Nanda's father. Hence because Nanda and Vasudeva are cousin-brothers, Rohiṇī and Yaśodā can be referred to as (cousin) sister-in-law.

73-75 As Yaśodā is surrounded by her sister-in-law and other ladies, her eagerness to see Kṛṣṇa only increases. Thus, milk starts to flow from her breasts and her apparel becomes soaked in tears! Thus, unable to remain inside, Yaśodā proceeds to the front gate and looks out hoping to see Kṛṣṇa.

As the sun being setting, Nanda becomes exceedingly anxious for Kṛṣṇa's darśana. Thus, upon hearing his Vaṁśī dhvani and seeing the dust from the cows rising from a distance, Nanda become overjoyed and heads for the gośālā with his gopa-friends.When a mahā-puruṣa takes birth at sunset, the auspicious planets ascend to spread their good influence. And similary, as Kṛṣṇa returns at sunset, the Vrājavāsīs ascend to high places to have a good look as he passes by.

Ṭīkā: There is more to this verse. Here the word go-dhūli is significant, it has two meanings. go-dhūli refers to the day's last moments when the sun's rays glisten in the treetops as it sets over the horizon.
Go-dhūli also means the dust raised by the cows' hooves. Thus, as Kṛṣṇa gracefully strides homeward at the go-dhūli time, the dhenu's godhūli covering his body forms a beautiful picture. To see this spectacle the Vrājavāsīs ascend to their balconies, or to the rooftops, to satiate their eyes!
