Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 10, Ch. 8]
PURPORT
Here is another of Kṛṣṇa's transcendental activities invented to please the  gopīs . First a complaint was lodged with mother Yaśodā about Kṛṣṇa's stealing, but mother Yaśodā did not chastise Him. Now, in an attempt to awaken mother Yaśodā's anger so that she would chastise Kṛṣṇa, another complaint was invented—that Kṛṣṇa had eaten earth.
TEXT 33
सा गृहीत्वा करे कृष्णमुपालभ्य हितैषिणी । यशोदा भयसम्भ्रान्तप्रेक्षणाक्षमभाषत ॥३३॥
sā gṛhītvā kare kṛṣṇam upālabhya hitaiṣṇī yaśodā bhaya-sambhrānta- prekṣaṇākṣam abhāṣata
sā —mother Yaśodā;  gṛhītvā —taking;  kare —within the hands (being anxious about what Kṛṣṇa might have eaten);  kṛṣṇam —Kṛṣṇa;  upālabhya —wanted to chastise Him;  hita-eṣṇī —because she was anxious for the welfare of Kṛṣṇa, she became very much agitated, thinking, “How is it that Kṛṣṇa has eaten earth?”;  yaśodā —mother Yaśodā;  bhaya-sambhrānta-prekṣaṇa-akṣam —began to look very carefully within Kṛṣṇa's mouth in fear, to see if Kṛṣṇa had eaten something dangerous;  abhāṣata —began to address Kṛṣṇa.
TRANSLATION
Upon hearing this from Kṛṣṇa's playmates, mother Yaśodā, who was always full of anxiety over Kṛṣṇa's welfare, picked Kṛṣṇa up with her hands to look into His mouth and chastise Him. Her eyes fearful, she spoke to her son as follows.

कसान्मृदमदान्तात्मन्भवान् भक्षितवान् रहः । वदन्ति तावका ह्येते कुमारास्तेऽग्रजोऽप्ययम् ॥३४॥
