Child Krishna approached a gopi and carefully placed His lips against her lips, His neck against her neck, His eyes against her eyes, and His forehead against her forehead. Speaking sweetly, He explained that He was, after all, only a small child, and then He pressed Himself against her breasts for a long time. He then smiled and the hairs of His body stood up with excitement. May child Krishna, whose body appeared to be too young to enjoy amorous pastimes, protect you all.

The gopis complained: "We will tell Your mother what You have done, how, even though You pretend to be only a small child, You enjoy amorous pastimes with the doe-eyed girls, delighting their eyes in the caves of Govardhana Hill." In the view of all these gopis, baby Krishna cleverly placed a finger in His mouth and began to suck on it to refute their arguments. May baby Krishna purify the entire world.
