The Appearance of Lord Viṣṇu (Kṛṣṇa) and the Divine Exchange with Yoga-māyā
मुमुचुर्मुनयो देवा: सुमनांसि मुदान्विता: । मन्दं मन्दं जलधरा जगर्जुरनुसागरम् ॥ ७ ॥ निशीथे तमउद्भूते जायमाने जनार्दने । देवक्यां देवरूपिण्यां विष्णु: सर्वगुहाशय: । आविरासीद् यथा प्राच्यां दिशीन्दुरिव पुष्कल: ॥ ८ ॥
mumucur munayo devāḥ sumanāṁsi mudānvitāḥ mandaṁ mandaṁ jaladharā jagarjur anusāgaram
Para dewa dan para resi agung menaburkan bunga dengan sukacita; awan-awan berkumpul dan bergemuruh lembut seperti bunyi gelombang samudra. Dalam gelap pekat tengah malam, ketika Janārdana sedang menampakkan diri, Viṣṇu yang bersemayam di relung hati semua makhluk muncul dari hati Devakī yang bersifat ilahi, laksana purnama terbit di ufuk timur.
As stated in the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.37) :
