Translation
Another example: My heart did not become shattered on seeing Kṛṣṇa, dearer that a thousand lives, bound up by Kāliya. How hard my heart is!
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
In this verse Yaśodā criticizes herself.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
When Kṛṣṇa was fighting with Kāliya, Mother Yaśodā exclaimed, “Kṛṣṇa is now entrapped within the hoods of the Kāliya snake, and yet I am not tattered to pieces! So I must admit how wonderful is the preserving power of this material body!” This is another instance of lamentation in ecstatic love.
