• padbhyām — with both His feet
  Instrumental dual of pad. Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet are pressing on her toes. Gauḍīya devotion centers on caraṇāravinda — here the very feet that Lakṣmī massages are pressing a maidservant's toes. The hierarchy of mercy is inverted.
• prapade — on her toes
  Locative of prapada. The contact point is the lowest — the toes. Gauḍīya commentators read this as the Lord beginning from the most distant, most peripheral point of the jīva and lifting from there.
• acyutaḥ — the infallible one
  From a + √cyu — never falling. The Bhāgavata names Him Acyuta precisely at the moment He acts on Kubjā: His act cannot fail. Kubjā's transformation is guaranteed not by her merit but by His name.
• uttāna — pointing upwards
  From ud + √tan. His two fingers point up — the gesture of lifting. Gauḍīya reading: the Lord's mudrā is always uttāna, always upward; the jīva's natural drift is downward, and bhakti is the upward correction.
• udanīnamat — He raised, He bent upward
  Imperfect causative of ud + √nam. To make-bend-upward. The same root nam used for praṇāma is here applied to Kṛṣṇa straightening Kubjā — a beautiful Bhāgavata wordplay: He who is offered praṇāma is now Himself bending a soul into a new posture.

• Where might Kṛṣṇa be applying gentle pressure to two points of your life simultaneously?
• What part of you would respond to being lifted and grounded at the same time?

A blacksmith's apprentice could never have straightened that twisted bar; the master needs only one motion — feet on the base, two fingers under the chin. The leverage of the Lord is His mere will; everything else is just the visible part of the gesture.
