Krishna's popularity among his mates rested on his mischievous pranks. Early in the morning hissakhas used to come to his house and called him out for play. As soon as Krishna heard their call, he used to come out and play with them. The most favorite game with Krishna and his sakhas was hide-and-seek. At times, Krishna disappeared from a place where there was nothing to hide behind. All his sakhas would feel surprised and would begin to find him out. When they were unsuccessful, they doubted that Kans's men might have abducted Krishna. So, they would call out his name loudly in worry. When Krishna saw his sakhas worried for him, he would appear smiling from behind them and again run forward calling out, 'Catch me! Catch me!' and the confused sakhas would again follow him but only to find him missing again. When the sakhas were tired of discovering Krishna, they would sit under some fruit-tree; Krishna would drop a ripe fruit from above and say, "Here I am." Balram would keep smiling at his pranks standing at a distance because he knew fully well the secrets of his naughty moves.
