NAUGHTY KRSNA
While mother Yasoda churned butter, Lord Krsna, desiring to drink her breast milk, appeared before her, and to increase her transcendental pleasure He caught hold of the churning rod and prevented her from churning.
Mother Yasoda then embraced Krsna, allowed Him to sit down on her lap, and began to look upon the face of the Lord with great love and affection. Because of her intense affection, milk flowed from her breasts. But when she saw that the milk pan on the stove was boiling over, she immediately left her son to take care of the overflowing milk, although the child was not yet fully satisfied with drinking His mother’s breast milk.
Biting His reddish lips in anger and shedding false tears, Krsna broke the container of yogurt with a stone. Then He entered a room and began to eat the freshly churned butter in a solitary place.
Mother Yasoda, after taking down the hot milk from the stove, returned to the churning spot, and when she saw that the container of yogurt was broken and that Krsna was gone, she concluded that the breaking of the pot was His work.
