How Did Kṛṣṇa Enter the Womb of Yaśodā-Mātā?
“upānanda hāsi bale “e gokula vana /
mahā-tīrtha rūpe tabe haiba gaṇana //
nandera bhavisya-vani suni’ sarva-jane /
yoginīra pāda-padma vande jane jane //
śighra tabe karidela kutira nirmāna /
tāhāte yoginī devī kaila avasthāna //
snigdhakaṇṭha bale “bhai, acche kibā haila /
yaśodāra garbhe kṛṣṇa kemate āila?” //
madhukaṇṭha mane mane karila vicāra /
“saba gopya kathā-ādi kariba vistāra //
kabe nanda yaśomatī vasta reka dhari /
dvādaśī pālana kaila ati yatna kari’ //
tabe māgi’ kṛṣṇa prati madhyera ratre-te /
eka śubha svapna nanda dekhe [acambite] //
nīla-varṇa eka śiśu gagane beḍāya /
svarna-varṇa kanyā eka tā’re gheri’ rahe //
kichu kṣana pare dohe nanda hṛdi mājhe /
karama sukhete [pāite] ānande birāje //
nanda hṛdi-rathe pūrṇa yaśodā garbha-te /
dhīra-bhāve virājita dekhe gopa-pate //
sei haite yaśodāra garbhera prakāśa /
dekhi’ gopa-gopī mane barhila ullāsa //
saba gopa-gopī kare ānanda uttarala /
nitya mahā-mahotsava ānanda maṅgala //
bahu dāna brahmaṇere deha gopa-rāja /
nitya daraśane āila trividhā samāja //
niśi-dina nanda gṛhe kevā āse jāya /
tāhāra nirṇaya keha karite nā pāya //
krame krame baḍi garbha āṭha māsa haila /
ei māse santāna ha’be jyotiṣī kahila //
bhādra-kṛṣṇāṣṭamī dina samāgata ha’la /
āji śiśu ha’be boli dhātrī saba thila //
Bhadra-kṛṣṇāṣṭamī-tithi ki jaya!
Kṛṣṇa-avirbhava-tithi ki jaya!
Hearing this, Upānanda became very joyful and said:
“This Gokula vana will be a mahā-tīrtha.”
Hearing this prophecy all of the inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi were happy, joyful. They all came forward and offered daṇḍavat-praṇāmas at the feet of that yoginī, brahmacārinī. They built a kuṭīra, cottage for her and she stayed there.
Then Snigdha-kaṇṭha asked:
“My dear brother Madhu-kaṇṭha, now tell how Kṛṣṇa came to the womb of Yaśodā-mātā.”
Madhu-kaṇṭha then spoke about this confidential truth.
Continuously for one year, Nanda and his wife Yaśomatī observed dvādaśī-vrata. Then, Māgha-māsa, kṛṣṇa-pratipata, on the first day of the dark fortnight of the month of Māgha, that night Nanda Mahārāja had a very good dream. He saw a baby, nīla-varṇa, a blue complexioned child moving in the sky, and he also saw a girl with a golden-hued bodily complexion. The two of them entered into Nanda Mahārāja’s heart and stayed there blissfully. Then they came out of the heart of Nanda Mahārāja and entered into the womb of Yaśodā-mātā. Nanda Mahārāja saw all this in a dream. In this way, Yaśodā-mātā became pregnant. Hearing this all gopas-gopīs became very blissful and happy. Every day there were mahotsava, grand festivals.
Nanda Mahārāja gave much charity to the brāhmaṇas, Vaiṣṇavas and some goddesses were also coming there every day. Day and night who was coming, who was going no one could calculate.
In this way, by the eighth month of pregnancy an astrologer said:
“This month the child will take birth.”
When this day came, on the eighth day of the dark fortnight of this month of Bhādra, the child will take birth on a most auspicious tithi.
Bhādra-kṛṣṇāṣṭamī-tithi ki jaya!
Janmāṣṭamī-tithi ki jaya!
When this Bhādra-kṛṣṇāṣṭamī, the eighth day of the dark fortnight of the month of Bhādra came, the nurse said:
“The child will be born today.”
Then the maternity home was prepared.
