Krishna eating earth

Another pastime that took place here is as follows.

One day Krishna was eating earth. His friends told Baladeva prabhu, and Baladeva prabhu went home and told Mother Yasoda. He said,

“My brother is at Brahmanada Ghat and is eating earth.”

Mother Yasoda then came here in an angry mood and asked Krishna,

“Have You been eating earth?”

He replied,

“No, I have not been eating earth.”

She said,

“Then, let me have a look inside Your mouth.”

She opened His mouth and inside she saw the unlimited universes and all creation. Everything was there in all the planetary systems.

Mother Yasoda was struck with wonder and closed her eyes, thinking,

“What has happened?”

She did not understand that Sri Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and everything is in Him. She thought Him to be her son, and that she was now perhaps haunted by a ghost or seeing a dream.
