The Bhagavad-Gita (XI: 41-42) also reports this Arjuna prayer: Dear Krishna, ignoring the extent of your inconceivable power, I sometimes lacked respect for you, and named “O my friend”. Please forgive me for having, out of reason, addressed you as to a friend or to an ordinary man.

Likewise, when Krishna joked with Rukmini, fearing that He would leave her, she found herself so disturbed that she dropped the fan with which she was fanning her and her hair came undone. Like a plantain uprooted by a fierce gust of wind, she fell to the ground, almost unconscious. As for Yasoda, the mother of Krishna in Vrindavana, the Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.8.45) affirms that she believed born from her womb the Lord whom all the authentic scriptures worship, including the Vedas and the upanisads, and the philosophy of sankhya. And again when mother Yasoda tied the child Krishna with a rope, as if he were an ordinary son with a material body born of her own (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 10.9.12). There are also other passages where Krishna sees himself treated like ordinary people, including the one where it is said that after being defeated at play by his friends the shepherds, Krishna carried Sridham on his shoulders (SB, 10.18.24).

Addressing the reports of the gopis [Young villagers, companions of Krishna in Vrindavana, the transcendent realm. They embody, because of their pure love for God, the highest devotion to the Lord.] With Krishna in Vrindavana, the Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.30.36-40) relates that when Krishna left the emotional dance alone with Srimati Radhika, that - here believed that He had abandoned all the other gopis. Although all equal in beauty, He showered her in this way, and she conceived vain thoughts: My dear Krishna forsook the beautiful gopis, satisfied that He is only me. In the forest, she said to Him: My beloved Krishna, I am unable to take one more step; You can take me wherever you want. And Krishna replied: Come, rest on My shoulder, and then disappear as soon as these words are spoken, thus plunging Srimati Radhika into an ocean of repentance.

Krishna having left the dance of feelings, emotions, all the gopis immediately lament: Dear Krishna, leaving husbands, sons, relatives, brothers and friends, we have come to these places ignoring their advice, we have come to You, who know better than anyone the reason for our presence here. The sweet sounds of your flute bewitch us. But you are so cunning that in the depths of the night, you abandon the young girls and women that we are, which hardly suits you.
