One day when Shri Krishna was playing with his friends and Balarama, all of them came together and told mother Yashoda that Krishna had eaten mud. Hearing this, mother Yashoda held Krishna by the hand to scold him for his own good. She said,<blockquote>''Oh child, why did you eat mud ? All your friends including your elder brother Balarama say so.''</blockquote>Shri Krishna said, <blockquote>''Oh mother, I never ate mud. If you think so, then please look '''inside''' my mouth and examine it.''</blockquote>Mother Yashoda then said to Krishna, <blockquote>''If you have not eaten mud, then open your mouth wide.''</blockquote>Listening to his mother, when Krishna opened his mouth wide, mother Yashoda saw the entire universe '''''inside''''' Shri Krishna's mouth. She saw mountains, oceans, the moon, stars and many other things. She even saw Vraja (Vrndavana) including herself there. Seeing all this, mother Yashoda was surprised. She realised that her son was not an ordinary child. He is Bhagavan himself. She then placed him on her lap and showered all her motherly affection on him.<ref name=":3">https://theharekrishnamovement.org/2016/01/14/lord-k%E1%B9%9B%E1%B9%A3%E1%B9%87a-shows-the-universal-form-within-his-mouth/</ref>

What Yashoda saw wasn’t mud but the entire universe. That’s when she realised that Krishna was the Lord in disguise!
