Krishna and boiling milk
One day, Yashoda sent all the servants for the preparation of Indra
Yagya.She herself was busy in churning curd. While she was busy with her work,
little Krishna woke up from his sleep and
started crying loudly. Yashoda put the curd aside and held her son in
her arms. She started feeding
him with milk. But just then , she remembered that she had put the
container of milk on the fire
and the milk must have boiled. She hurriedly put Krishna down on his
bed and rushed towards the
kitchen. But Krishna’s hunger was not satisfied till then. Mother
Yashoda had given priority to the
boiling milk and put him down from her
lap. So Krishna got angry. He held a stone and threw it
to the vessel of the curd. The vessel broke and the curd started
flowing from it. He then broke the
vessel of butter too and distributed it among the monkeys of Gokul.
When Yashoda returned and saw that it was Krishna’s naughtiness, she scolded
him , but when she saw him sad , she lovingly took him in her lap and started
feeding him again .
