Krishna Being Dressed by Yasoda and Balarama

Krishna's playmates then threatened not to allow Him to play with them again. Krishna became afraid, and instead of going back home, He went back again to play with the boys.

At that time, mother Yasoda scolded the children and told Krishna, "My dear Krishna, do You think that You are a street boy? You have no home? Please come back to Your home! I see that Your body has become very dirty from playing since early morning. Now come home and take Your bath. Besides, today is Your birthday ceremony; therefore You should come back home and give cows in charity to the brahmaṇas. Don't You see how Your playmates are decorated with ornaments by their mothers? You should also be cleansed and decorated with nice dress and ornaments. Please, therefore, come back, take Your bath, dress Yourself nicely, and then again You may go on playing."
