• vatsa-vatyaḥ — as if new calves had been born to them
  Compound: vatsa + vat (suffix of likeness) + feminine plural. The cows act as if they had just calved, though their calves are a year older. Gauḍīyas read this as Vraja's law: vātsalya does not measure age; it always meets the calf as newborn.
• gilantyaḥ — as if swallowing
  Present participle of √gṝ (to swallow), paired in the verse with iva (as if). The licking is so intense it looks like swallowing. The Bhāgavata's hyperbolic precision: vātsalya wants to take the child back into the body.
• apāyayan — they fed them milk
  Causative of √pā (to drink). The same causative as the boys at verse 7 — vātsalya is grammatically a causative act. The mother causes the child to drink, repeatedly, as the chapter's recurring devotional gesture.
• lihantyaḥ — licking
  The same word from verse 24, now intensified by the year's accumulated love. Gauḍīyas note the recurrence — the Bhāgavata's small repeated verbs are the signature of how vātsalya behaves: licking, licking, licking.
• sva-odhasam payaḥ — milk from their own udders
  Compound: sva (own) + odhas (udder) + payas (milk). The same somatic vocabulary as verses 22 and 24, now bonded to the cows' newly-calved phantom-state. Vraja's three streams of milk — gopīs', new-calves' mothers', old-calves' mothers' — all flow at once.

• Whom has Kṛṣṇa quietly added to my circle of care beyond the boundaries I originally drew?
• Where am I rationing affection by category instead of letting it flow as His love does?

Mothers nursing year-old children whom they have already weaned, because the year of separation that should have ended their nursing has only deepened the longing — the cows nurse calves they had stopped feeding months before. Love restarts what time had closed.
