Translation

An example: Yaśodā could not stop looking at her son sucking His big toe, throwing His two feet in the air, lying on His back, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

“When Kṛṣṇa was lying down flat, sometimes sucking the toes of His feet, sometimes throwing His legs upward, sometimes crying and sometimes smiling, Mother Yaśodā, seeing her son in such pastimes, did not show any sign of restricting Him, but rather began to watch her child with eagerness, enjoying these childhood pastimes.”
