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
半神たちと大聖仙たちは歓喜して花を降らせ、雲は空に集まり、海の波音のようにごく穏やかに鳴り響いた。深夜の濃い闇の中、ジャナールダナが顕現しつつあるとき、万有の心奥に住まうヴィシュヌは、神性を具えたデーヴァキーの心より、東の地平に満月が昇るがごとく現れ給うた。
