The Lord’s Advent: Yoga-māyā’s Mission, Saṅkarṣaṇa’s Transfer, and the Demigods’ Prayers
दिष्टयाम्ब ते कुक्षिगत: पर: पुमा- नंशेन साक्षाद् भगवान् भवाय न: । माभूद् भयं भोजपतेर्मुमूर्षो- र्गोप्ता यदूनां भविता तवात्मज: ॥ ४१ ॥
diṣṭyāmba te kukṣi-gataḥ paraḥ pumān aṁśena sākṣād bhagavān bhavāya naḥ mābhūd bhayaṁ bhoja-pater mumūrṣor goptā yadūnāṁ bhavitā tavātmajaḥ
ഹേ ദേവകീ അമ്മേ! നിന്റെയും ഞങ്ങളുടെയും സൗഭാഗ്യത്താൽ സാക്ഷാൽ ഭഗവാൻ, തന്റെ അംശങ്ങളായ (ബലദേവാദി) സഹിതം, നിന്റെ ഗർഭത്തിൽ വസിക്കുന്നു—ഞങ്ങളുടെ മംഗളത്തിനായി. അതുകൊണ്ട് ഭോജപതി കംസനെ ഭയപ്പെടേണ്ട; അവൻ പ്രഭുവാൽ വധിക്കപ്പെടാൻ നിശ്ചിതൻ. നിന്റെ ശാശ്വത പുത്രൻ കൃഷ്ണൻ യദുവംശത്തിന്റെ രക്ഷകനാകും।
The words paraḥ pumān aṁśena signify that Kṛṣṇa is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the verdict of the śāstra ( kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam ). Thus the demigods assured Devakī, “Your son is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He is appearing with Baladeva, His plenary portion. He will give you all protection and kill Kaṁsa, who has decided to continue his enmity toward the Lord and thus be killed by Him.”
FAQs
This verse declares that the Supreme Lord Himself entered Devakī’s womb (with His divine expansion) specifically for the welfare of the devotees and the world.
Devakī reassures Rohiṇī that Kaṁsa is destined to die and that her son will become the protector of the Yadu dynasty, so fear is unnecessary.
It teaches that when one remembers the Lord’s protective presence and purpose, fear diminishes—faith replaces anxiety, and one acts with steadiness and hope.
