Darling
Child :- Yashoda with Unnikannan
Story : So Krishna
won the love of every one and proved a born leader. But to Yashoda
he was her darling little child. Some times when he was too naughty
the gopies complained to Yashoda, and she punished him, too, before
his mother he looked like an innocent little child.
There is a very interesting story about the boy Krishna. One day
Balarama rushed to Yashoda: he said: "Mother! Krishna is eating
mud. His body is all covered with mud and his mouth is full of it."
Just then the lovely child came up. His face and body were covered
with mud. Yashoda began to question the boy, "You naughty fellow!
Haven’t you had enough butter at home? Do you eat mud?"
With a wry face Krishna lisped: "Oh no, mother! Brother is
uttering a lie. I have not touched mud at all." Yashoda said
angrily, "Enough! Open your mouth." Krishna opened his
mouth.
Yashoda looked. She was startled and could only exclaim ‘Ah!’
She did not see mud in Krishna's mouth. But she saw all the worlds!
As she looked she was dazed. She was terrified and folded her hands
and closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes she saw the laughing little child before
her. She forgot all she had seen. She, too, laughed and
Swept the child into her arms. And Krishna laughed as if he knew
nothing.
