ViksharO rOhitO mArgO

ViksharO rOhitO mArgO hEtur dAmOdara: saha: | 
maheedharO mahAbhAgO vEgavAn amitAsana: || 


Vikshara: -- Whose love for His devotees is always increasing and never decreases. 

ROhita: -- Reddish is the colour indicative of extreme joy. He becomes reddish like the interior of lotus whenever Jivas come back to Him turning from samsara. 

MArga: -- He is the path and His devotees lovingly seek after Him. 

HEtu: -- He himself becomes the cause of devotion towards Him when we earnestly pray to Him. 

DAmOdara: -- He, the infinite having all the worlds in His belly, in His incarnation as Sri Krishna, enabled the cowherd-mother Yasoda to tie Him around His belly by a hapless string to the mortar. And He was crying to her as a helpless babe. How He was able to do that is beyond our comprehension. 

Saha: -- The cowherds, the gopis, not knowing that He is the God Almighty and ParamAtmA, were showing Him extraordinary love and devotion just thinking that He was also a cowherd. Out of that untutored love they took all liberties with Him, tying Him, chiding Him, cajoling Him. It was sheer and utmost joy for Him, that experience. He was indulgent and so thoroughly enjoying that period. 

Maheedhara: -- He bears the burden of Earth. 

MahAbhAga: -- He took a great form and consumed the food-hill heaped by the cowherds in a worship. 

VEgavAn -- Even as a child His speed of execution of miracles and great works were astounding. 

AmitAsana: -- His appetite conserves the cosmos during pralaya. His hunger insatiable in eating butter churned by gopis is highly symbolic.
