vyAkhyAnam (Commentary)
pon … – I [yaSOdhAp pirAtti] had, after giving krishNa a divine bath such that the beauty of his divine form shines, and giving him milk from my bosom, went to the banks of river yamunA, in order to have a bath. Before I returned …

van bArach chagadam iRach chAdi – krishNa, realising that there was a delay in getting milk from yaSOdhAp pirAtti, started crying and kicking his feet. A strong, heavy wheel, got caught between the divine feet which were kicking, and broke into smithereens.
vadakkil agam pukku irundhu – entered a house, which was located to the north of yaSOdhAp pirAtti’s house.
