A famous devotional pad by Surdas depicting the playful conversation between child Krishna and his mother Yashoda after being accused of stealing butter. The poem beautifully captures Krishna's innocence, wit, and divine charm while expressing the deep maternal love (vatsalya bhava) of Yashoda. It is regarded as one of the finest examples of Vatsalya Rasa in Braj literature.
