Krishna Questions His Hair Braid Not Growing

Mother, when will my hair-braid grow?

milk you said will make it grow,

but still it remains so short.

Mother when will my hair-braid grow

you said like Bal it would be strong,

his braid has grown fat and long,

combing , braiding, bathing, drying,

to the ground like a serpent writhing.

for me you say milk is better.

never delicious bread and butter,

Sur, long live the two brothers,

the twosome of hari and haldhar.
