Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesKṛṣṇa Empowers Service Through His Blessings
“O all-auspicious Yoga-māyā, I shall then appear with My full six opulences as the son of Devakī, and you will appear as the daughter of mother Yaśodā, the queen of Mahārāja Nanda.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa declared that He would appear as Devakī’s son with His full six opulences. Yoga-māyā would appear as the daughter of mother Yaśodā.
- When Kṛṣṇa appears, He comes with all His integrated parts. Brahmā, Baladeva and Yoga-māyā each played a part in His appearance.
- Moving Saṅkarṣaṇa seemed a very difficult task to Yoga-māyā, but Kṛṣṇa blessed her and told her to take power from Him. By the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, even a difficult task becomes possible.
