vācāla - talkative; kahiye - I say; veda-pravartaka - one who can speak with the authority of the Vedas; dhanya - glorious; bāliśa - childish; tathāpi - still; śiśu-prāya - like a child; garva-śūnya - without pride.

“The word ‘vācāla’ is used to refer to a person who can speak according to Vedic authority, and the word ‘bāliśa’ means ‘innocent.’ Kṛṣṇa spoke the Vedic knowledge, yet He always presents Himself as a prideless, innocent boy.
