A mischievous youth

Kahna

Sri Krsna has unlimited names, each reflecting certain qualities possessed by his own good self. Here is a picture showing baby Krsna stealing freshly churned butter. The name most revered in Vrindavan for this mischievous youth is Kahna. Kahna is short for Makana Taskara which means butter thief.

As Krsna grew up, residents of Braj continued to lovingly address him as their "Kahna". -AJD
