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. KB 10.11.19 “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.”

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.

Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

When he still did not come, she tried to generate envy in him by showing the example of the other boys.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

She repeats the word paśya as an expression of scolding, anger or lamentation arising from prema. See your friends who have been cleansed by their mothers by bathing etc. and then nicely ornamented.
