• apāsya — abandoning
  Absolutive of apa + √as — to throw away, set aside. The verb of relinquishment. The Bhāgavatam uses it here for meals; in 10.29 it uses it for infants the gopīs set down to run to the rāsa.
• prapāyayantyaḥ — giving milk
  Present participle of pra + √pā (causative) — causing to drink. Mothers in the act of breastfeeding put the infant aside. The Bhāgavatam's most piercing image of how Kṛṣṇa-darśana interrupts even vātsalya — for the mortal-bound versions of it, at least.
• niḥsvanam — the loud sounds
  Accusative of niḥsvana — outflowing sound. The acoustic field of Kṛṣṇa's procession — flute, anklets, voices, hooves. Gauḍīyas note: even before darśana, Bhagavān's śabda is already pulling people from sleep.
• arbham — infant
  Accusative of arbha — small child. The infant set aside is the verse's most charged detail. The mothers do not stop being mothers; they have, in this one second, found a Person more worth attending to than even their own child.

Lunches mid-bite, baths half-done, sleep abandoned mid-dream, infants set aside at the breast — the city's entire ordinary economy is interrupted by the sound of Kṛṣṇa walking. Bhagavān's footfall outvotes hunger, sleep, and even mother-love.
