Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 40


Sanskrit:

अथ तालफलान्यादन्मनुष्या गतसाध्वसा: ।तृणं च पशवश्चेरुर्हतधेनुककानने ॥ ४० ॥

ITRANS:

atha tāla-phalāny ādanmanuṣyā gata-sādhvasāḥtṛṇaṁ ca paśavaś cerurhata-dhenuka-kānane

Translation:

People now felt free to return to the forest where Dhenuka had been killed, and without fear they ate the fruits of the palm trees. Also, the cows could now graze freely upon the grass there.

Purport:

According to the ācāryas, low-class people such as the pulindas ate the fruits of the palm trees, but Kṛṣṇa’s cowherd boyfriends considered them undesirable, since they had been tainted with the blood of the asses.
