Krishna was very active and frolicsome by nature. Every minute a new mischief occurred to him. Indeed it was because of this mischievous nature that his childhood was so charming and fascinating. But Yashoda Maiya was always anxious regarding her son for the following two reasons. One reason was that he could hurt himself while making naughty movements carelessly and the second reason was that he could get to a distant place while playing and Kans's men could easily catch him and whisk him away to Mathura. Whenever Yashoda Maiya tried to advise Krishna, he, very cleverly, involved her in his innocent talk and Maiya could not help hugging him out of filial love.

As soon as Yashoda Maiya turned her attention to some household job, he used to slink away giving her a slip. The helpless mother would again call out, "Kanhaiya! 'Kanhaiya!" and come to the doorstep to look for him. She felt satisfied only when some Gopis of the neighborhood would bring him to her catching him by the arm. Gopis used to come to Yashoda with their complaint against her son. They said, "Look Yashoda! Your son has broken my pots full of butter and spilt the whole of it on the ground," and Krishna would try to slip away from the scene as soon as possible.
