Mother Yaśodā Binds Lord Kṛṣṇa
( Srimad Bhagavatam 10th
Canto Chapter 9)
While mother Yaśodā was allowing Kṛṣṇa to drink her breast milk,
she was forced to stop because she saw the milk pan boiling over on the oven.
The maidservants being engaged in other business, she stopped allowing Kṛṣṇa to
drink from her breast and immediately attended to the overflowing milk pan.
Kṛṣṇa became very angry because of His mother’s behavior and devised a means of
breaking the pots of yogurt. Because He created this disturbance, mother Yaśodā
decided to bind Him. These incidents are described in this chapter.
One day, the maidservants being engaged in other work, mother
Yaśodā was churning the yogurt into butter herself, and in the meantime Kṛṣṇa
came and requested her to allow Him to suck her breast milk. Of course, mother
Yaśodā immediately allowed Him to do so, but then she saw that the hot milk on
the oven was boiling over, and therefore she immediately stopped allowing Kṛṣṇa
to drink the milk of her breast and went to stop the milk on the oven from
overflowing. Kṛṣṇa, however, having been interrupted in His business of sucking
the breast, was very angry. He took a piece of stone, broke the churning pot
and entered a room, where He began to eat the freshly churned butter. When
mother Yaśodā, after attending to the overflowing milk, returned and saw the
pot broken, she could understand that this was the work of Kṛṣṇa, and therefore
she went to search for Him. When she entered the room, she saw Kṛṣṇa standing
on the ulūkhala, a large mortar
for grinding spices. Having turned the mortar upside down, He was stealing
butter hanging from a swing and was distributing the butter to the monkeys. As
soon as Kṛṣṇa saw that His mother had come, He immediately began to run away,
and mother Yaśodā began to follow Him. After going some distance, mother Yaśodā
was able to catch Kṛṣṇa, who because of His offense was crying. Mother Yaśodā,
of course, threatened to punish Kṛṣṇa if He acted that way again, and she decided
to bind Him with rope. Unfortunately, when the time came to knot the rope, the
rope with which she wanted to bind Him was short by a distance equal to the
width of two fingers. When she made the rope longer by adding another rope, she
again saw that it was short by two fingers. Again and again she tried, and
again and again she found the rope too short by two fingers. Thus she became
very tired, and Kṛṣṇa, seeing His affectionate mother so tired, allowed Himself
to be bound. Now, being compassionate, He did not show her His unlimited
potency. After mother Yaśodā bound Kṛṣṇa and became engaged in other household
affairs, Kṛṣṇa observed two yamala-arjuna trees,
which were actually Nalakūvara and Maṇigrīva, two sons of Kuvera who had been
condemned by Nārada Muni to become trees. Kṛṣṇa, by His mercy, now began to
proceed toward the trees to fulfill the desire of Nārada Muni.
