tayoḥ - to the two; yaÅ›odÄ-rohiṇyau - YaÅ›odÄ and Rohiṇī (the mothers of Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma, respectively); putrayoḥ - to their sons; putra-vatsale - who were very affectionate to their sons; yathÄ-kÄmam - in accordance with Their desires; yathÄ-kÄlam - in accordance with the time and circumstances; vyadhattÄm - presented; parama-ÄÅ›iá¹£aḥ - first-class enjoyable offerings.
Mother YaÅ›odÄ and mother Rohiṇī, acting most affectionately toward their two sons, offered all the best things to Them in response to Their every desire and at the various appropriate times.
The word paramÄÅ›iá¹£aḥ indicates the attractive blessings of a loving mother, which include wonderful food, beautiful clothes, jewelry, toys and constant affection. The words yathÄ-kÄmaá¹ yathÄ-kÄlam indicate that although YaÅ›odÄ and Rohiṇī satisfied all the desires of their sons, Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma, they also properly regulated the boys’ activities. In other words, they prepared wonderful food for their children, but they saw to it that the boys ate at the proper time. Similarly, their children would play at the proper time and sleep at the proper time. The word yathÄ-kÄmam does not indicate that the mothers indiscriminately allowed the boys to do whatever They liked, but in the proper, civilized way they showered their blessings upon their children.
ÅšrÄ«la SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ« comments that the mothers loved their sons so much that as they embraced Them they would carefully check all Their limbs to see if They were healthy and strong.
