TRANSLATION
In gladness, the cowherd men enjoyed the great festival by splashing one anothers bodies with a mixture of curd, condensed milk, butter and water. They threw butter on one another and smeared it on one anothers bodies.
PURPORT
From this statement we can understand that five thousand years ago not only was there enough milk, butter and curd to eat, drink and cook with, but when there was a festival it would be thrown about without restriction. There was no limit to how extensively milk, butter, curd and other such products were used in human society. Everyone had an ample stock of milk, and by using it in many varied milk preparations, people would keep good health in natural ways and thus enjoy life in Krsna consciousness.
