Volume 7 - Prabhupada

PLATE NINE" 'Although Krr:Ja is beyond sense perception and is unmanifest tohuman beings, He takes up the guise of a human being with a materialbody. Thus mother Yasoda thought Him to be her son, and she boundLord Krr:Ja with a rope to a wooden mortar, as if He were an ordinarychild.' When Lord Krr:Ja exhibited Himself like an ordinary child beforemother Yasoda, He was playing like a naughty boy stealing butter andbreaking butter pots. Mother Yasoda became disturbed and wanted tobind the Lord to a mortar used for pounding spices. In other words, sheconsidered the Supreme Personality of Godhead an ordinary child."(p.379)
