226 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 11
TRANSLATION
Sometimes mother Yasoda and her gopi friends would tell
Krsna, ‘“‘Bring this article’ or “Bring that article.”” Sometimes
they would order Him to bring a wooden plank, wooden shoes or a
wooden measuring pot, and Krsna, when thus ordered by the
mothers, would try to bring them. Sometimes, however, as if un-
able to raise these things, He would touch them and stand there.
Just to invite the pleasure of His relatives, He would strike His
body with His arms to show that He had sufficient strength.

To pure devotees throughout the world who could understand
His activities, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, ex-
hibited how much He can be subdued by His devotees, His ser-
vants. In this way He increased the pleasure of the Vrajavasis by
His childhood activities.
