Verse Text
śravaṇād, yathā –
śṛṇvantī turaga-dānavaṁ ruṣā
gokulaṁ kila viśantam uddhuram |
drāg abhūt tanaya-rakṣaṇākulā
śuṣyad-āsya-jalajā vrajeśvarī ||7||
Translation
Demon as the cause of fear, Kṛṣṇa as viṣaya, through hearing: Hearing that the intolerable Keśī demon had entered Gokula with anger, Yaśodā suddenly became alarmed to protect her son, and her lotus-like face dried up.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
When it was learned that the demon was entering Gokula in an angry mood, Mother Yaśodā became so anxious to protect her child that her face dried up and there were tears in her eyes. These are some of the signs of the ecstasy of dread in devotional service, caused by seeing and hearing something that is dangerous to Kṛṣṇa.
