[62] And then one day, when the calves' shed located nearby for the sake of milk for household expenses was closed at its doors, the child Hari, surrounded by a throng of boys, noticed the calves sturdy as elephants. And thereupon:
Taking the heifers for cows, the young goats for calves, / and themselves for milkers, the boys imitated cow-milking. ||
When those children, desiring milk, milked the heifers, / the luster born of their laughter then acted as milk for them. ||
And when Kṛṣṇa wished to imitate the pasturing of cows, / he conferred and released the new calves. ||
Desiring to hold on, Rāma and Keśava seized the tails of the calves / and, dragged along by them, wandered intensely through the cowherd settlement with the boys. ||
