Překlad
In this way, Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, acting like small boys and talking in half-broken language, gave transcendental pleasure to all the inhabitants of Vraja. In due course of time, They became old enough to take care of the calves.
Svým chováním malých chlapců a dětským žvatláním působili Kṛṣṇa a Balarāma transcendentální potěšení všem obyvatelům Vraji. Časem dospěli do věku, kdy dostali na starost telata.

Význam
As soon as Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma were a little grown up, They were meant for taking care of the calves. Although born of a very well-to-do family, They still had to take care of the calves. This was the system of education. Those who were not born in brāhmaṇa families were not meant for academic education. The brāhmaṇas were trained in a literary, academic education, the kṣatriyas were trained to take care of the state, and the vaiśyas learned how to cultivate the land and take care of the cows and calves. There was no need to waste time going to school to be falsely educated and later increase the numbers of the unemployed. Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma taught us by Their personal behavior. Kṛṣṇa took care of the cows and played His flute, and Balarāma took care of agricultural activities with a plow in His hand.
Jakmile Kṛṣṇa a Balarāma trochu povyrostli, měli pečovat o telata. I když se narodili ve velice zámožné rodině, nic to neměnilo na tom, že museli dohlížet na telátka. Tak vypadala výchova. Ti, kdo se nenarodili v bráhmanských rodinách, nedostávali akademické vzdělání. Brāhmaṇové studovali literaturu a akademické předměty, kṣatriyové byli připravováni na vedení státu a vaiśyové se učili, jak obdělávat půdu a starat se o krávy s telaty. Nikdo nemusel marnit čas chozením do školy, jen aby dostal nevhodné vzdělání a pak zvětšil počet nezaměstnaných. Kṛṣṇa a Balarāma nás učili svým vlastním chováním. Kṛṣṇa se staral o krávy a hrál na flétnu, zatímco Balarāma s pluhem v ruce měl na starost zemědělské činnosti.
