'বাচাল' কহিয়ে - 'বেদপ্রবর্তক' ধন্য ।
'বালিশ' - তথাপি 'শিশু-প্রায়' গর্বশূন্য ॥ ১৪০ ॥
'vacala kahiye-'veda-pravartaka' dhanya
'balisa'-tathapi 'sisu-praya' garva-sunya
vacala-talkative; kahiye-I say; veda-pravartaka-one who can speak with the authority of the Vedas; dhanya-glorious; balisa-childish; tathapi-still; sisu-praya-like a child; garva-sunya-without pride.
"The word 'vacala' is used to refer to a person who can speak according to Vedic authority, and the word 'balisa' means 'innocent.' Krsna spoke the Vedic knowledge, yet He always presents Himself as a prideless, innocent boy.
