Context

Lord Krishna says to his mother that he did not steal the butter. A very popular bhajan, the naughty child Krishna was caught with freshly churned butter by his mother Yashoda, with some still on his face. He claims:

O Mother mine, believe me, I have not eaten the butter
These friends of mine, out of sheer spite, spread some butter on my face
