Krishna Learning To Walk

Hands stretched out hesitantly,

A foot on the ground unstably,

Yasoda, teaching the Lord to walk.

Sometimes watching His adorable face

Storing away the joy in her heart,

Sometimes praising the family deity:

Give long life to her Kanhaiya.

Sometimes calling to Bal

Two to play in her courtyard.

Surdas see the Lords leela

The lustre of bliss of Nandraiya (Yasoda).
