WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

When it rained, the Lord would sometimes enter a cave or the hollow of a tree to play and to eat roots and fruits.

PURPORT

Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī explains that during the rainy season bulbs and roots are very tender and palatable, and Lord Kṛṣṇa would eat them along with wild fruits found in the forest. Lord Kṛṣṇa and His young boyfriends would sit in the hollow of a tree or within a cave and enjoy pastimes while waiting for the rain to stop.
