1.21.181

[40] tac ca yuktaṃ, yataḥ-
tāsāṃ kṛṣṇaḥ parātmā na tu paraiti na prāpnuyāj jāratāṃ tat
prānte prāptaḥ patitvaṃ dadad ucita-matiṃ jāram atyāpi vittaḥ|
yadvad bakyāṃ jighāṃsāv api samucitam atyarpaṇāl lālya-bhāvaṃ
lebhe dhātrī-nibhāyāṃ sthiratamam iha yad yuktitas tat phalaṃ hi || [sragdharā]

[40] And that is proper, because:
For them Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Soul, not another, and could not become a paramour; therefore,
having attained the status of husband at the end, granting a fitting attitude, he is known as a paramour only through mental conception.
Just as Bakī, even with a desire to kill, attained an appropriate status of being nurtured by very great giving,
as if a foster mother, because that fruit in this world is firmly established through reasoning. ||
