As Lord Krishna grew up, He became more and more mischievous. One day, Yashoda got tired of His pranks and tied Him to the okhli (vessel for grounding spices). “O Krishna, I will tie You so that You may not go away. Now let me see how You create trouble!” Yashoda said. She went off inside the home to do some work. Lord Krishna smiled and walked while tied to the okhli. There were two giant Arjuna and Amla trees next to each other. Lord Krishna walked through the trees, tied with the okhli, and got stuck between them. Such was His power that both the trees on either side were uprooted as the gopis present watched in shock. A gopi ran and informed Yashoda about this. Yashoda ran to where Lord Krishna stood with both the trees on either side. She realised that Lord Krishna’s power knew no bounds. She hugged Him tight as He laughed in His mother’s arms. Lord Krishna would soon face mighty demons in His battle against evil.
