PLATE NINE

“Although Krsna is beyond sense perception and is unmanifest to
human beings, He takes up the guise of a human being with a material
body. Thus mother YaSoda thought Him to be her son, and she bound
Lord Krsna with a rope to a wooden mortar, as if He were an ordinary
child.’ When Lord Krsna exhibited Himself like an ordinary child before
mother Yasoda, He was playing like a naughty boy stealing butter and
breaking butter pots. Mother YaSoda became disturbed and wanted to
bind the Lord to a mortar used for pounding spices. In other words, she
considered the Supreme Personality of Godhead an ordinary child.”
