When the Lord displayed His activities just suitable for childhood, He was visible only to the residents of Vrndavana. Sometimes He would cry and sometimes laugh, just like a child, and while so doing He would appear like a lion cub.
Srimad Bhagavatam 3.2.28
PURPORT
If anyone wants to enjoy the childhood pastimes of the Lord, then he has to follow in the footsteps of the residents of Vraja like Nanda, Upanandaand other parental inhabitants. A child may insist on having somethingand cry like anything to get it, disturbing the whole neighborhood, andthen immediately after achieving the desired thing, he laughs. Suchcrying and laughing is enjoyable to the parents and elderly members ofthe family, so the Lord would simultaneously cry and laugh in this wayand merge His devotee-parents in the humor of transcendental pleasure.These incidents are enjoyable only by the residents of Vraja like Nanda Maharaja, and not by the impersonalist worshipers of Brahman or Paramatma. Sometimes when attacked in the forest by demons, Kṛṣṇawould appear struck with wonder, but He looked on them like the cub ofa lion and killed them. His childhood companions would also be struckwith wonder, and when they came back home they would narrate the storyto their parents, and everyone would appreciate the qualities of their Kṛṣṇa. Child Kṛṣṇa did not belong only to His parents, Nanda and Yasoda; He was the son of all the elderly inhabitants of Vṛndavana and the friend of all contemporary boys and girls. Everyone loved Kṛṣṇa. He was the life and soul of everyone, including the animals, the cows and the calves.
