1.7.6

vedair vādyaiḥ pragītair naṭana-paṭimabhiḥ mantra-pūrvābhiṣekaiḥ
sa-prītyādāna-dānaiḥ pramada-kala-kalair yajña-vijña-prayogaiḥ |

matsyādīnāṃ pramokair ajani jani-tithir gopa-rājāṅgajasya || [sragdharā]
kintu,
krameṇa vṛddhir varṣāṇāṃ yathā nandātma-janmanaḥ |
tathā tat-parvaṇo' py āsīt sphuṭaṃ yad-abhidā dvayoḥ || [anuṣṭubh]
kṛṣṇa-bhojanam annaṃ yat kṛṣṇācchādanam aṃśukam |
tat-tan-nāmnā pracāro' bhūt tasya tasya vraje tataḥ || [anuṣṭubh]

With Vedas, instruments, songs, skillful dances, consecrated baths with mantras,
loving gifts and counter-gifts, joyful confused clamors, expert sacrificial rites,
the sixfold sesame rituals, auspicious contacts with earth, aguru-paste, and grains,
and the release of fish and other creatures, the birthday of the cowherd king’s son came to pass.

However,
just as the years of Nanda’s son increased one by one,
so too did that festival, so clearly non-different from the two.

The food that was Kṛṣṇa’s meal, the cloth that was Kṛṣṇa’s garment—
each became known in Vraja by that very name.
