nikrsya—attracting; rohinyah—of Rohini; udare—within the womb;
sannivesaya—transfer without difficulty.

TRANSLATION

Within the womb of Devaki is My partial plenary expansion
known as Sankarsana or Sega. Without difficulty, transfer Him into
the womb of Rohini.

PURPORT

The first plenary expansion of Krsna is Baladeva, also known as Sesa.
The Sega incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead supports
the entire universe, and the eternal mother of this incarnation is mother
Rohini. “Because I am going into the womb of Devaki,” the Lord told
Yogamaya, “the Sesa incarnation has already gone there and made suit-
able arrangements so that I may live there. Now He should enter the
womb of Rohini, His eternal mother.”

In this connection, one may ask how the Supreme Personality of God-
head, who is always situated transcendentally, could enter the womb of
Devaki, which had previously been entered by the six asuras, the sad-
garbhas. Does this mean that the sad-garbhdsuras were equal to the
transcendental body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead? The
following answer is given by Srila Viévanatha Cakravarti Thakura.

The entire creation, as well as its individual parts, is an expansion of
the energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, even
though the Lord enters the material world, He does not do so. This is ex-

plained by the Lord Himself in Bhagavad-gita (9.4—-5):

maya tatam idam sarvam
Jagad avyakta-mirtina

mat-sthani sarva-bhitani
na cadham tesv avasthitah

na ca mat-sthani bhitani
pasya me yogam aisvaram
