In plain words
The child says: "You need not say only, 'It is my fault,' you know: saying I had eaten earth, did you not look into my mouth with love, then hold me and beat me, and show me to everyone?" Yaśōdā answers: "Vāmana, perfect one, whose banner bears the foe of the serpent that lives in the hard anthill [Garuḍa], your ears will close up! Lord, who end all the sorrows that befall your own, let me put in the thread, and then I will swear to you truly [that I will not beat you]."
