कालियदमना: यमुनाशुद्धिः, करुणा-निग्रहः, स्तुति-तत्त्वम्
नन्दगोपश् च निश्चेष्टो न्यस्य पुत्रमुखे दृशम् यशोदा च महाभागा बभूव मुनिसत्तम
nandagopaś ca niśceṣṭo nyasya putramukhe dṛśam yaśodā ca mahābhāgā babhūva munisattama
О лучший из мудрецов, Нанда застыл, вперив взгляд в лицо сына; и благородная Яшода тоже оцепенела, поражённая увиденным.
Sage Parāśara (narrating to Maitreya)
Their stillness marks the shock of encountering divinity within ordinary parental intimacy—an abrupt moment where the child Krishna is revealed as the cosmic Lord, suspending all normal human response.
Parāśara narrates it as a direct epiphany: the foster-parents’ gaze is fixed on the child’s mouth/face, and the overwhelming vision renders them inert—signaling that the Supreme Reality can disclose itself even within domestic lila.
The verse supports the Vaishnava claim that Vishnu (as Krishna) is the sovereign ground of the cosmos, capable of containing and revealing the universe while remaining present in a tender, accessible human form.
