PURPORT
One day Lord Krsna as the naughty child disturbed His mother Y asoda,
and she began to tie up the child with ropes just to punish Him. But no
matter how much rope she used, she found it always insufficient. Thus
she became fatigued, but in the meantime the Lord opened His mouth, and
the affectionate mother saw within the mouth of her son all the universes
situated together. The mother was astonished, but out of her deep affection
for Krsna she thought that the Almighty Godhead Narayana had kindly
looked after her son just to protect Him from all the continuous calamities
happening to Him. Because of her deep affection for Krsna, she could
never think that her very son was Narayana, the Personality of Godhead
Himself. That is the action of yogamaya, the internal potency of the
Supreme Lord, which acts to perfect all the pastimes of the Lord with
His different types of devotees. Who could play such wonders without
being God?
