Grierson (J.R.A.S. 1884: 233). voetnoot1 Here there may be some confusion as to which is the refrain, ‘at Nanda's home...’ or ‘I have heard...’. In fact it is customary in singing to take either half first, and so the lines may be sung in this way also: ‘ham suni ke āye - Nanda ghara bāje badhaiyā, lāla ham suni ke āye’. This is also the case with many other songs. voetnoot2 Kanhaiyā, colloquial, diminutive form of Kṛṣṇa. voetnoot3 This is obviously a reference to Kṛṣṇa's birth in a prison in Mathurā and his being taken away immediately to be brought up with the foster-father Nanda in Gokula. This also makes it possible for the foster-mother in Gokula to be dancing in the celebration of the child's birth. In the variant ‘sukuvą̄ra daiyā’, however, the meaning is ‘in the session the tender-limbed father is dancing’. See line VIII. voetnoot4 As deities.
