COMMENTARY:

YasOdhai sees the celebration of the beauty of her child by one and all and begins to worry about any evil eye falling on her child. She confesses to her dear friend standing nearby that her child is not a strong one in an unusual statement having double meanings. From one angle, she observes: My son has no match in strength. He kicked the cradle while he was lying in it and smashed it to pieces. I thought His feet might be hurting from that act and lifted Him up and placed Him in my waist. He wriggled and moved about strongly and broke my waist. I tried to comfort Him from any fatigue with all those violent movements by embracing Him. He tried to get away from me and kicked me in my stomach. All of these do not fit well with the gentleness and Sakti of my child!

From another angle, her statement reads this way: He is lying in the cradle because He is of feeble strength and does not have the strength to kick at the cradle and cause damage to it. When I place Him on my waist, he stays immobile

and feels light due to His feebleness. When I embrace Him, he does not push and kick back. He is so docile. I worry that my son is in such a poor state of inactivity and disinterest unlike kids of his own age.
