यशोदया समा कापि देवतानां तु भूतले।

यशोदया समा कापि देवतानां तु भूतले।

उलूखले यदा बद्धो मुक्तिदो मुक्तिमिच्छति॥

yaśodayā samā kāpi devatānāṁ tu bhūtale|

ulūkhale yadā baddho muktido muktimicchati||

On this earth, there is no Divine being superior to Mother Yashodha.

That Supreme one who is capable of liberating every living here was tied by her to a mortar and He is crying His heart out for liberation.

It is indeed a great imagery..

When the naughty escapades of the child Krishna crossed all limits, mother Yashoda took a long rope and tied the child securely to a mortar. Being bound and uncomfortable, Krishna is shouting and crying at the top of His voice. Only Yashoda can untie the knots and give some semblance of freedom to the sweet urchin.

What a contradiction.. He is the Universe manifest, and He alone can ensure the ultimate liberty of all beings reeling under worldly woes. But now his liberty is controlled by Mother Yashoda ?

So She is more powerful even than that Universal Soul Krishna.
