confirmed that she would do what He asked. Thus having accepted
the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, she circumam-
bulated Him and started for the place on earth known as Nanda-
gokula. There she did everything just as she had been told.

PURPORT

After receiving the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
Yogamaya twice confirmed her acceptance by saying, ‘‘Yes, sir, 1 shall do
as You order,”’ and then saying orn. Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura
comments that om signifies Vedic confirmation. Thus Yogamaya very
faithfully received the Lord’s order as a Vedic injunction. It is a fact that
whatever is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is a Vedic in-
junction that no one should neglect. In Vedic injunctions there are no
mistakes, illusions, cheating or imperfection. Unless one understands the
authority of the Vedic version, there is no purpose in quoting sdstra. No
one should violate the Vedic injunctions. Rather, one should strictly exe-
cute the orders given in the Vedas. As stated in Bhagavad-gita (16.24):

tasmdc chastram pramanam te
karyakarya-vyavasthitau

jfidtva Ssdstra-vidhanoktam
karma kartum iharhasi

“One should understand what is duty and what is not duty by the regula-
tions of the scriptures. Knowing such rules and regulations, one should
act so that one may gradually be elevated.”
