Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 13


Sanskrit:

नोपेयातां यदाहूतौ क्रीडासङ्गेन पुत्रकौ ।यशोदां प्रेषयामास रोहिणी पुत्रवत्सलाम् ॥ १३ ॥

ITRANS:

nopeyātāṁ yadāhūtaukrīḍā-saṅgena putrakauyaśodāṁ preṣayām āsarohiṇī putra-vatsalām

Translation:

Because of being too attached to playing with the other boys, Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma did not return upon being called by Rohiṇī. Therefore Rohiṇī sent mother Yaśodā to call Them back, because mother Yaśodā was more affectionate to Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma.

Purport:

Yaśodāṁ preṣayām āsa. These very words show that since Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma did not care to return in response to the order of Rohiṇī, Rohiṇī thought that if Yaśodā called They would have to return, for Yaśodā was more affectionate to Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma.
