Because of this I relish your pastimes. When you broke the yogurt pot, committing offense against Yasoda (krtagasi), Yasoda put a rope around your waist. The state at that moment astonishes me. Lowering your head with eyes filled with tears mixed with eye ointment, you stood there in fear of her punishment. It is astonishing because (yad) fear itself is afraid of you. This state shows that Yasoda, having such prema, was more fortunate than Nanda, since you were brought under her control completely. By saying “fear is afraid of you” Kunti shows her awareness of Krsna’s power as the Lord. She also accepts as true that he was internally feeling fear. It would not be possible for her to be bewildered if she thought he was only imitating being fearful. Thus the word vidambanam in the previous verse cannot mean imitation, that the Lord only took the various roles while pretending.
