MOTHER YASODA DRESSES KRSNA
One day mother Yasoda called to Krsna, “My dear son, because You have been playing all day, Your body has become covered with dust and sand. Therefore come back, take Your bath, and cleanse Yourself. Today the moon is conjoined with the auspicious star of Your birth. Therefore be pure and give cows in charity to the brahmanas.
“Just see how all Your playmates have been cleansed and decorated with beautiful ornaments by their mothers. You should come here, and after You have taken Your bath, eaten Your lunch, and been decorated with beautiful ornaments, You may play with Your friends again.”
Because of intense love and affection, mother Yasoda considered Krsna, the Supreme Lord, to be her son. Thus she took Krsna by the hand and brought Him home, and then she fully bathed, dressed, and fed Him.
