English	“Because of her ecstatic love for Him, Kṛṣṇa allowed Mother Yaśodā to bind Him with ropes.” Yaśodā experiences spiritual love for Kṛṣṇa that resembles the affection a mother feels toward her child. After catching Him stealing butter, she dutifully chastises her naughty transcendental son.
English	EN KB 2018 one-vol: Mother Yaśodā did not know the power of her child or that it was impossible to bind the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thinking Kṛṣṇa her tiny child, she did not know that He was actually unlimited and all-pervading, so she endeavored to bind Him to the wooden grinding mortar. But when she tried, she found that no matter how much rope she used, the rope was always short by two inches. She smiled in astonishment. How was this happening?
