One day while Kṛṣṇa wasplaying with Hissmall playmates and Balarāma, al Hisfriends joined Balarāma in lodging a complaint with mother Yaśodā. "Mother," they submitted, "Kṛṣṇa has eaten earth."
Upon hearing this from Kṛṣṇa's playmates, mother Yaśodā, who was always full of anxiety over Kṛṣṇa's welfare, picked Kṛṣṇa up to look into His mouth and chastise Him. Her eyes fearful, she spoke to her son as follows: "Dear Kṛṣṇa, why are You so restless that You have eaten dirt in a solitary place?"
Lord Kṛṣṇa replied, "My dear mother, I have never eaten dirt. All My friends complaining against Me are liars. If you think they are being truthful, you can directly look into My mouth and examine it."
Mother Yaśodā challenged Kṛṣṇa: "If you have not eaten earth, then open Your mouth wide." When Kṛṣṇa was ordered by His mother, He immediately opened His mouth just like an ordinary boy. Then mother Yaśodā saw within His mouth the complete opulence of creation. She saw outer space in all directions, mountains, islands, oceans, seas, planets, air, fire, moon, and stars. Indeed, mother Yaśodā saw within the mouth ofher child everything necessary for the cosmic manifestation. Upon seeing all this, she became struck with awe and wondered whether she was dreaming or actually seeing something extraordinary. Then Lord Kṛṣṇa expanded His internal energy, and Yaśodā forgot all philosophical speculation and accepted Kṛṣṇa once again as her own child.
