Sage Parāśara (narrating to Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse shows the moment when ordinary parental affection is shaken by the realization that the child Krishna is not merely human but the Supreme Lord, revealing the Purana’s theme that the avatāra is both intimate and transcendent.
Parāśara portrays Nanda’s intense despair and fixed attention on Krishna, and Yaśodā’s swoon-like overwhelm, as reactions produced by the sudden cognition of Krishna’s divine greatness rather than by mundane fear alone.
Krishna’s ‘māhātmya’ indicates divine sovereignty within the avatāra: Vishnu remains the Supreme Reality even while appearing as a dependent child, a key Vaishnava teaching emphasized throughout the Vishnu Purana.
