| FILE INFO | | Caption | "Sometimes Krishna would enter the house of a neighbor, and if He found no one there, He would release the calves before the time for the cows to be milked. The calves are actually supposed to be released when their mothers are milked but Krishna would release them before that time, and naturally the calves would drink all the milk from their mothers. When the cowherd men saw this, they would chase Krishna and try to catch Him, saying, "Here is Krishna doing mischief," but He would flee and enter another house, where He would again devise some means to steal butter and curd. Then, the cowherd men would again try to capture Him, saying, "Here is the butter thief. Better capture Him!" And they would be angry. But Krishna would simply smile, and they would forget everything. Sometimes, in their presence, He would begin eating the curd and butter."
- Excerpt from Srila Prabhupada's purport, Srimad Bhagavatam, 10.8.29
