   I havent addressed this issue with the book because its so frequent as to make me complacent, but there are so many times when Krishna is described in ways not befitting the Supreme Lord He is extolled as being. I'm not just talking about the obvious issue of His conduct, but rather about Him being described as "realizing" or "planning" or thinking/feeling certain childish things as a young child. basically what i seek is a treatment like the Adhyatma Ramayana, where for example Rama is explicitly described as searching for Sita despite always knowing where she is, playing at being a mortal. tulsidas's rendition is similar.

     here's a good example. Him being astonished by the working of His own energy is no balm for this flaw in the text. it is remniscent of "taking refuge in yogamaya's powers", but of course, Brahman under the influence of maya (or yogamaya) is called a jiva.
