Translation

Meeting Kṛṣṇa after separation, from the First Canto: The mothers, after embracing their son, sat Him on their laps. Due to pure affection, milk sprang from their breasts. They were overwhelmed with delight, and the tears from their eyes moistened the Lord. SB 1.11.30

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

In the First Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Eleventh Chapter, verse 29, it is stated, “When Kṛṣṇa entered Dvārakā after finishing the Battle of Kurukṣetra, He first of all saw His mother and all His different stepmothers and offered His respectful obeisances unto their feet. The mothers immediately took Kṛṣṇa upon their laps, and because of their parental affection, there was milk flowing out of their breasts. So their breast milk, mixed with the water of tears, became the first offering to Kṛṣṇa.” This is one of the examples of being satisfied after a great separation.
