TRANSLATION

"'When mother Yasoda saw all the universes within Krishna's mouth, she was astonished for the time being. The Lord is worshiped like Indra and other demigods by the followers of the three Vedas, who offer Him sacrifices. He is worshiped as impersonal Brahman by saintly persons who understand His greatness through studying the Upanishads, as the Purusha by great philosophers who analytically study the universe, as the all-pervading Supersoul by great yogis, and as the Supreme Personality of Godhead by devotees. Nevertheless, mother Yasoda considered the Lord her own son.'

PURPORT

This verse is quoted from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.8.45). Those who are spiritually advanced forget Krishna's opulence by the mercy of yogamaya. For instance, mother Yasoda considered Krishna an ordinary child.
