Nārada Sees Lord Kṛṣṇa’s Yoga-māyā in the Palaces of the Queens
Dvāra-kā-līlā
कृष्णस्यानन्तवीर्यस्य योगमायामहोदयम् । मुहुर्दृष्ट्वा ऋषिरभूद् विस्मितो जातकौतुक: ॥ ४२ ॥
kṛṣṇasyānanta-vīryasya yoga-māyā-mahodayam muhur dṛṣṭvā ṛṣir abhūd vismito jāta-kautukaḥ
Als der Weise wieder und wieder die gewaltige mystische Entfaltung der Yogamāyā des Herrn Kṛṣṇa sah, dessen Kraft unbegrenzt ist, war er staunend und voller Verwunderung.
This verse shows Yogamāyā as Kṛṣṇa’s divine potency that reveals His extraordinary, wondrous arrangements—so even a great sage becomes repeatedly astonished on witnessing them.
In this chapter’s narrative, Nārada observes Kṛṣṇa simultaneously present in many palaces, each performing distinct intimate activities—an opulence displayed through Yogamāyā—leading to his amazement and curiosity.
By remembering that the Lord’s power is limitless, one cultivates humility and faith—seeing life’s surprising turns as within divine arrangement and deepening devotion rather than reducing the sacred to ordinary logic.
