Yasoda fearing to feed Lord Krishna after seeing His unusual powers
223:thannEraayiram piLLaikaLOdu* thaLar n^adaiyittu varuvaan*

With a thousand boys like you around, you come home dragging your feet. Gulping sweet milk and golden Ghee, you pretend to crawl like a child. O Lord, you sucked the life of the slender-waisted deceiver Putana. O My! I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
224:

I bathed and fed you, left you here and went. Before I returned you smote and overturned a loaded cart then went into the Northern room and disfigured a thin-waisted dame. O dear! I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
225:
kummaayaththodu veNNey vizhuNGgi* kudaththayir saayththup paruhi*

ammaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 3.
After gulping mashed lentils with butter you overturned the pitcher and gorged yourself with curds. You felled the Asuras who were disguised as trees, and you stand here innocently. O Child-god capable of wonders! People speak of you as my son. O No! I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
226:

Infatuating cowherd girls with large Kajal-lined eyes, you go after them and steal their frilled Sarees, then do many many wrongs. O False One, the complaints I hear about you could fill a book. O Master! I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
227:
muppOdhum kadaindhu eeNdiya veNNeyinOdu* thayirum vizhuNGgi*

You gobble up the curds and butter churned all day long, then drink up the milk straight from the canister, brought on a yoke by the cowherds, then also drink breast-milk and cry for more like a wailing babe. My Master! I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
228:

You gobble up the curds and butter churned all day long, then drink up the milk straight from the canister, brought on a yoke by the cowherds, then also drink breast-milk and cry for more like a wailing babe. My Master! I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
229:

You enter the groves with a slender flute and play enchantingly; Curly-locked maidens of the village come pouring out to you and worship you from all sides. O Radiant Lord, other than receiving a bad name for begetting you. I have no share in the common wealth of the village. O Wicked One! I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
230:
vaaLaavaahilum kaaNahillaar* piRar makkaLai maiyanmai seydhu*

kaaLaay! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 8.
Even otherwise they don’t like to see you. You infatuate others’ daughters, embrace them, play with them, and do unspeakable things. Cowherd-fold does not like to hear of such bad ways. O I am doomed, it is hopeless. O Nanda’s son! I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
231:
thaaymaar mOr viRkap pOvar* thahappanmaar kaRRaan^iRai pinbu pOvar*

aayaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 9.
Mothers in the village go to sell buttermilk, fathers go after grazing cows. You take the young girls to wherever you want, and do things that please you enemies, giving room for gossip. O Roaming Cowherd-lad, I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
232:
thoththaar pooNGguzhal kanniyoruththiyai* sOlai thadam koNdu pukku*
muththaar koNGgai puNarndhu iraa n^aazhikai* moovEzhu senRapin vandhaay*

aththaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammamtharavE.* 10.
You took a flower-coiffured maiden into the deep forest, embraced her pearly breasts and came back after the third watch of the night. People speak ill of you. Alas, I am unable to scold you. My Lord, I know you now, I fear to give you suck.
233:
kAraar mEni n^iRaththu embiraanai* kadi kamazh pooNGguzhal aaychchi*
aaraa innamudhu uNNaththaruvan n^aan* ammam thaarEn enRa maaRRam*

Eraar innisai maalai vallaar* irudeekEsan adiyaarE.*
This decad of sweet songs by Pattarbiran, King of famous Puduvai recalls the words of fragrant coiffured Yasoda to the cloud-hued Lord weaning him from breast milk. Those who sing it well will become devotees of the Lord Hrisikesa.
