Dear Krsna, why are You so restless that You have eaten dirt in a

PURPORT

Mother Yasoda was agitated by Krsna’s restless misbehavior. Her
house was full of sweetmeats. Why then should the restless boy eat dirt
in a solitary place? Krsna replied, ‘““My dear mother, they have plotted
together and lodged a complaint against Me so that you will punish Me.
My elder brother, Balardma, has joined them. Actually, I have not done
this. Take My words as true. Do not be angry and chastise Me.”
