yathā –
kamprā svedini cūrṇa-kuntala-taṭe ity ādi (BRS 4.8.31) ||
tatra hāsya-karuṇau vatsalam eva puṣṇītaḥ | ||80||
Translation
Verse 31 of this chapter is an example of vatsala-rasa nourished by hāsya and karuṇa-rasas, which are enemies. The verse is: When perspiration became visible on the forehead of Kṛṣṇa as He held up Govardhana in His left hand, Yaśodā began trembling with fear, thinking that Govardhana would fall upon Him. Her eyes opened wide with astonishment on seeing the boldness of a seven-year-old boy, when He raised His left hand to lift the hill. But her cheeks were filled with laughter on seeing the playful expressions on His face as He smiled at His friends (hāsya-rasa). Tears flowed from her eyes on seeing Him with His left hand held high for seven days (karuṇa-rasa). Her cloth became wet as milk flowed from her breasts out of affection for her son (vatsala-rasa). May this queen of Vraja protect the whole world!
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
In this verse, however, the two conflicting rasas are also separated in time.
