"Yaśodāmāyi wanted the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his (her) son, for which hundreds of years he undergone..., or she undergone austerities. And when the Supreme Personality of Godhead appeared before him..., before her, for both the husband and wife: 'What do you want?' 'Now we want a son like You'. So Kṛṣṇa said, 'There is no second one beyond Me, so I shall become your son', So He became son. So He must play perfectly, that Yaśodāmāyi may not understand that 'Here is the Supreme Personality of Godhead'. Then the feelings of mother and son will disappear. Anyway, Kṛṣṇa is playing exactly like a little child. So that is Kṛṣṇa's mercy."
