Translation
Jāḍyam (inaction): O lotus-eyed one! Seeing Your stick which was the ornament of Your lotus hand while you were in Gokula, You mother has today become like a stick, with all senses stopped.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
One friend of Kṛṣṇa’s addressed Him thus: “My dear lotus-eyed one, when You were living in Gokula You were always bearing a stick in Your hand. That stick is now lying idle in the house of Mother Yaśodā, and whenever she sees it she becomes motionless just like the stick.” This is a sign of becoming stunned in separation from Kṛṣṇa.
