FAQs
Yoga-nidrā is the Lord’s divine power that veils ordinary awareness, enabling Krishna’s incarnation to proceed unhindered; here it causes Yaśodā and the surrounding people to be “mohita,” ensuring the avatāra-līlā is protected.
Parāśara frames the event as coordinated by higher power: the same Yogamaya that governs perception and circumstance aligns births and deludes onlookers, showing that the Lord’s purpose operates through cosmic sovereignty rather than chance.
Even when not named explicitly, the verse implies Vishnu’s supremacy: the Lord’s śakti (Yogamaya) commands minds and events, revealing the avatāra as protected and directed by the Supreme Reality, not subject to worldly constraint.
