SRMK

“Dāsya, the attitude of a servant toward his master. Hanumān had this attitude toward Rāma. He felt the strength of a lion when he worked for Rāma. A wife feels this mood also. She serves her husband with all her heart and soul. A mother also has a little of this attitude, as Yaśodā had toward Krishna. “Sakhya, the attitude of friendship. Friends say to one another, ‘Come here and sit near me.’ Śridāma and other friends sometimes fed Krishna with fruit, part of which they had already eaten, and sometimes climbed on His shoulders. “Vātsalya, the attitude of a mother toward her child. This was Yaśodā’s attitude toward Krishna. The wife, too, has a little of this. She feeds her husband with her very life-blood, as it were. The mother feels happy only when the child has eaten to his heart’s content. Yaśodā would roam about with butter in her hand, in order to feed Krishna. “Madhur, the attitude of a woman toward her paramour. Rādhā had this attitude toward Krishna."
