He put his foot in milk-pot and ran away. When I brought a stick to beat him, he ran away smartly.

His mischief is too much at curd-churning spot. He grabs butter from our hands. All the curd-sellers are yelling. Maids with moon-like faces are rebuking him.

Krishna is not allowing us into village. He is obstructing our movement in streets. He claims that he is the Lord of all 'Lokas'. Why do you allow him to move freely like a village bull. He is Sri Purandara Vitthala.
