Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 19


Sanskrit:

पश्य पश्य वयस्यांस्ते मातृमृष्टान्स्वलङ्कृतान् ।त्वं च स्‍नात: कृताहारो विहरस्व स्वलङ्कृत: ॥ १९ ॥

ITRANS:

paśya paśya vayasyāṁs temātṛ-mṛṣṭān svalaṅkṛtāntvaṁ ca snātaḥ kṛtāhāroviharasva svalaṅkṛtaḥ

Translation:

Just see how all Your playmates of Your own age have been cleansed and decorated with beautiful ornaments by their mothers. You should come here, and after You have taken Your bath, eaten Your lunch and been decorated with ornaments, You may play with Your friends again.

Purport:

Generally young boys are competitive. If one friend has done something, another friend also wants to do something. Therefore mother Yaśodā pointed out how Kṛṣṇa’s playmates were decorated, so that Kṛṣṇa might be induced to decorate Himself like them.
