PLATE TWELVE

In any situation, Krsna is always the infinitely powerful Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. But just to increase the ecstatic emotion of His inti-
mate, loving devotees like mother Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja, Krsna
agrees to come under their control. Sometimes Nanda Maharaja would
ask Krsna to bring him his wooden slippers, and Krsna, with great dif-
ficulty. would put the slippers on His head and take them to His father.
At such times Nanda Maharaja would exclaim, “My dear Yasoda, just
look at vour offspring. Krsna! See His blackish bodily luster, His eyes
tinged with red color. His broad chest and His beautiful pearl ornaments.
How wonderful He looks. and how He is increasing my transcendental

bliss more and more!” (p. 226)
