Dhamodhar lila

Enjoying makhan with friends  Yashoda Maiya tied Krishna with rope Dhamodhar Lila

Performance of Indra -Yajana had been a practice in Vraj right since ancient times. These yajanas were performed to thank Lord Indra for timely rains. Gokul was also preparing for this yajana. So, Yashoda sent all her Gopis to make preparations for the aforesaid Yajana and she sat down churning curd. Krishna was enjoying a sound sleep at that time. Suddenly he woke up and insisted on suckle. Yashoda leaving her job of churning began to suckle her son. She had kept some milk on the fireplace for boiling. All of a sudden, the milk boiled and began to spill out of the vessel. Seeing this, Yashoda ran towards the fireplace leaving Krishna where she was suckling him.

Krishna was still hungry and wanted to suck milk for some time more. So, he got furious and struck the pot of curd with a piece of stone. As a result, the pot was broken and the entire yogurt was spilt on the ground. Still not satisfied, Krishna got to the cabin where butter was stored. Getting onto a big mortar, he brought down a pot full of butter and began to disburse among his Sakhas and some monkeys that were frisking about there. When Yashoda came back after removing the boiling milk from over the fire, she found her churning pot broken but she could find Krishna nowhere. Suddenly she discovered Krishna's footprints and followed them with a stick in her hand. Reaching the cabin, she found her son feeding his mates and monkeys with butter.

Seeing his mother with a stick in her hand, Krishna got down from the mortar and rushed outside, his mother followed him. But when he got tired at last, he stopped and began to weep bitterly. Maiya could not stand the sight of her weeping son and threw away her stick. She caught Krishna by the hand and said, "Lala you have become extremely naughty now. I must punish you today." Saying so, Yashoda brought Krishna near the mortar on which he was standing some time before. She started tying him to the mortar but the rope fell short.

Now Yashoda tried a longer rope but it fell short too. She tried several ropes, each longer than the previous one, but all of them failed to do the job. At last Yashoda joined all the ropes through knots in order to tie her son to the mortar. Strangely enough, such a long rope fell short too. Not knowing what to do, Yashoda sat down weeping and said, "Krishna! Why should you bother me to that extent? I won't speak to you at all. "Finding his Maiya helpless and troubled at heart, Krishna began to smile and tied himself to the mortar with his own hands. Feeling satisfied, Yashoda set about doing some household job. Krishna sat down on his knees and caused the mortar to tumble down so that it could roll when drawn.
