Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 26


Sanskrit:

व्रजौकसां स्वतोकेषु स्‍नेहवल्‍ल्याब्दमन्वहम् ।शनैर्नि:सीम ववृधे यथा कृष्णे त्वपूर्ववत् ॥ २६ ॥

ITRANS:

vrajaukasāṁ sva-tokeṣusneha-vally ābdam anvahamśanair niḥsīma vavṛdheyathā kṛṣṇe tv apūrvavat

Translation:

Although the inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi, the cowherd men and cowherd women, previously had more affection for Kṛṣṇa than for their own children, now, for one year, their affection for their own sons continuously increased, for Kṛṣṇa had now become their sons. There was no limit to the increment of their affection for their sons, who were now Kṛṣṇa. Every day they found new inspiration for loving their children as much as they loved Kṛṣṇa.
