“But what need is there, Arjuna, for all this detailed knowledge? With a
single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.”
Everything is situated as a part of the Supreme Lord’s potency. In regard
to Lord Krsna’s appearance in the womb of Devaki, Brahma played a
part also because on the bank of the milk ocean he requested the
Supreme Personality of Godhead to appear. A part was also played by
Baladeva, the first expansion of Godhead. Similarly, Yogamaya, who ap-
peared as the daughter of mother Yasoda, also played a part. Thus jiva-
tattva, visnu-tattva and sakti-tattva are all integrated with the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, and when Krsna appears, He appears with all
His integrated parts. As explained in previous verses, Yogamaya was re-
quested to attract Sankarsana, Baladeva, from the womb of Devaki to the
womb of Rohini, and this was a very heavy task for her. Yogamaya
naturally could not see how it was possible for her to attract Sankarsana.
Therefore Krsna addressed her as subhe, auspicious, and said, “Be
blessed. Take power from Me, and you will be able to do it.” By the grace
of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, anyone can do anything, for the
Lord is present in everything, all things being His parts and parcels
(arnsa-bhagena) and increasing or decreasing by His supreme will.
Balarama was only fifteen days older than Krsna. By the blessings of
Krsna, Yogamaya became the daughter of mother Yasoda, but by the
supreme will she was not able to enjoy the parental love of her father and
mother. Krsna, however, although not actually born from the womb of
mother Yasoda, enjoyed the parental love of mother Yasoda and Nanda.
By the blessings of Krsna, Yogamaya was able to achieve the reputation
of being the daughter of mother Yasoda, who also became famous by the
blessings of Krsna. Yasodd means “‘one who gives fame.”
