Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 7


Sanskrit:

क्‍वचिद्धैयङ्गवस्तैन्ये मात्रा बद्ध उदूखले । गच्छन्नर्जुनयोर्मध्ये बाहुभ्यां तावपातयत् ॥ ७ ॥

ITRANS:

kvacid dhaiyaṅgava-stainyemātrā baddha udūkhalegacchann arjunayor madhyebāhubhyāṁ tāv apātayat

Translation:

Once, His mother tied Him with ropes to a mortar because she had caught Him stealing butter. Then, crawling on His hands, He dragged the mortar between a pair of arjuna trees and pulled them down.

Purport:

The two arjuna trees were old and thick, and they towered above little Kṛṣṇa’s courtyard. Nevertheless, they were pulled down quite easily by the naughty child.
