Sandhi Resolution Notes: नंदपत्नी = नन्द-पत्नी; यशोदाऽजीजनत्सुताम् = यशोदा + अजीजनत् + सुताम्; पद्मदलेक्षणम् = पद्म-दल-ईक्षणम् (स्वर-सन्धिः: दल + ईक्षण -> दलेक्षण).
Yaśodā is identified as Vairāṭī and explicitly described as Nanda’s wife (nandapatnī).
They function as devotional epithets associated with Viṣṇu—especially “Padmanābha”—highlighting divine qualities through lotus imagery (purity, beauty, auspiciousness).
It emphasizes Vaiṣṇava devotion by describing the child with Viṣṇu-linked titles and characteristics (e.g., lotus-petaled eyes), suggesting sacred/divine identity through naming.
