ततो जगन्मङ्गलमच्युतांशंसमाहितं शूरसुतेन देवी । दधार सर्वात्मकमात्मभूतंकाष्ठा यथानन्दकरं मनस्त: ॥ १८ ॥
tato jagan-maṅgalam acyutāṁśaṁ samāhitaṁ śūra-sutena devī dadhāra sarvātmakam ātma-bhūtaṁ kāṣṭhā yathānanda-karaṁ manastaḥ
അതിനുശേഷം ശൂരസുതനായ വസുദേവൻ, സർവ്വജഗത്തിനും മംഗളകരനായ അച്യുതന്റെ അംശങ്ങളോടുകൂടിയ പൂർണ്ണ ഐശ്വര്യവാനായ ഭഗവാനെ വസുദേവന്റെ മനസ്സിൽ നിന്ന് ദേവകിയുടെ മനസ്സിലേക്ക് മാറ്റി. വസുദേവനാൽ ദീക്ഷിതയായ ദേവകി, സർവ്വാത്മകനായ, എല്ലാവർക്കും മൂലചൈതന്യമായ, കാരണങ്ങളുടെ കാരണമായ ശ്രീകൃഷ്ണനെ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ ധരിച്ചു; ഉദയചന്ദ്രനെ ധരിക്കുന്ന കിഴക്കുദിക്കുപോലെ അവൾ ശോഭിച്ചു।
As indicated here by the word manastaḥ, the Supreme Personality of Godhead was transferred from the core of Vasudeva’s mind or heart to the core of the heart of Devakī. We should note carefully that the Lord was transferred to Devakī not by the ordinary way for a human being, but by dīkṣā, initiation. Thus the importance of initiation is mentioned here. Unless one is initiated by the right person, who always carries within his heart the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one cannot acquire the power to carry the Supreme Godhead within the core of one’s own heart.

It says Devakī conceived the Lord’s infallible plenary portion, who is the auspiciousness of the whole universe and the Supersoul of all beings.
Because Vasudeva is the son of Śūra (a Yādava chief), and the verse notes that Devakī’s mind became steady through him as she conceived the Lord.
It teaches that when the mind becomes steady and surrendered, the Lord—who is the inner Self of all—reveals His auspicious presence and brings deep joy to the heart.
