more affectionate mother to Krsna and Balarama.

TRANSLATION

Because of being too attached to playing with the other boys,
Krsna and Balarama did not return upon being called by Rohini.
Therefore Rohini sent mother YaSoda to call Them back, because
mother Yasoda was more affectionate to Krsna and Balarama.

PURPORT

YaSodam presaydm asa. These very words show that since Krsna and
Balarama did not care to return in response to the order of Rohini,
Rohini thought that if Yasoda called They would have to return, for
Yasoda was more affectionate to Krsna and Balarama.
