BalaKrishna

Next Desika presents the picture of crawling Krishna.  When krishna 
crawled on the floor the dust covered his body all over. Desika says 
that the earth goddess   tried to embraced him under the pretext of 
covering his body with dust. 'prAyO dharithree parishasvajE tham 
sApathrapA sAndhrarajacchalEna.'
The joy of Nanda knew no bounds on seeing the face of Krishna which 
was nirvyAja mandhasmitha dharsaneeyam, delightful to behold with his 
spontaneous smile. When he lisped and pronounced the name of his 
mother partly he was acclaimed by all.Everyone was pleased with his 
attempt to speak which  was fascinating, says Desika, because the 
Lord who created all the worlds and gave them name and form,  is here 
praised by the people in Gokula for uttering his mother's name 
partially. The upanishad says that after creating the world of beings 
Brahman willed to enter them with their soul to give them name and 
form.'anEna jeevEna AthmanA anupravisya nAmrupE vyAkaravANi.' (Chan.6-
3-2)

Then Krishna started to speak with clarity and his pronunciation had 
the scent of veda, says Desika.' varNasvarAdhivyavasAyabhoomnA 
sikshAvidhAm sikshaNam agryam Aseeth.' It was as though he was 
teaching the gopis who tried to make him speak through his 
pronunciation of letters and the intonation etc. which resembled that 
of the vedas.
Next we have the delightful picture of Krishna trying to 
stand. 'thameeshadhutthAya nileenabhArAth samprekshya 
dhanthAnkurachAruhAsam;sanAthaneem dhrshtim ananya dhrshtih sAnandham 
AlOkatha nandha pathnee.'He tries to stand a little but keeps falling 
off and he smiles sweetly showing his budding teeth.Yasodha ho had no 
eyes for any thing else, was looking at him, who is the eye of all, 
with joy.
Here it would be  interesting to see how Periazvar enjoys Krishna 
having his first teeth.' kOla narumpavaLa senthuvar vAyinidai komaLa 
veLLimuLai pOl sila pallilaga,' in his mouth, red like  coral, there 
are a few teeth showing like tender shoots of silver. 
Yasodha teaches Krishna to walk and Desika enjoys the scene thus: 
Yasodha took hold of his hands and made him walk and he keeps falling 
now and then pretending that he could not walk more than few steps so 
that his mother will pick him up and tries again. Who is he! The one 
who measured the threeworlds with three steps and now manifest as a 
child in order to protect the world.'padhaisthribhihkrAntha 
jagaththrayam tham bhavyAsA bhAvina bAlabhAvam.'
Soon Krishna was walking all around marking the earth with his 
footprints as though to put his seal on earth to drive away the 
wicked.Next comes the scene where Krishna dances to the tune of the  
gopis.
