मैया मोरी मैं नहिं माखन खायो। ख्याल परै ये सखा सबै मिलि, मेरैं मुख लपटायो॥
देखि तुही सींके पर भाजन, ऊँचे धरि लटकायो। हौं जु कहत नान्हें कर अपने, मैं कैसें करि पायो॥
Surdas's tender pad: little Krishna pleads with Yashoda, 'Mother, I did not eat the butter! My friends smeared it on my face. See — the pot hangs high on the sling; with my tiny hands, how could I ever reach it?' A beloved scene of his childhood mischief.
