(Maharaja Pariksit); safijata-vepathuh—whose heart was beating;

TRANSLATION

When mother Yasoda saw the whole universe within the mouth
of her child, her heart began to throb, and in astonishment she
wanted to close her restless eyes.

PURPORT

Because of her pure maternal love, mother Yasoda thought that this
wonderful child playing so many tricks must have had some disease. She
did not appreciate the wonders shown by her child; rather, she wanted to
close her eyes. She was expecting another danger, and therefore her eyes
became restless like those of a deer cub. This was all the arrangement of
yogamaya. The relationship between mother Yasoda and Krsna is one of
pure maternal love. In that love, mother Yasoda did not very much ap-
preciate the display of the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s opulences.

At the beginning of this chapter, two extra verses sometimes appear:

evam bahini karmani
gopanam sam sa-yositam

nandasya gehe vavrdhe
kurvan visnu-jandrdanah

“In this way, to chastise and kill the demons, the child Krsna demon-
strated many activities in the house of Nanda Maharaja, and the inhabi-
tants of Vraja enjoyed these incidents.”

evam sa vaurdhe visnur
nanda-gehe janardanah

kurvann anigam Gnandam
gopalanadm sa-yositam

“To increase the transcendental pleasure of the gopas and the gopis,
Krsna, the killer of all demons, was thus raised by His father and
mother, Nanda and Yasgoda.”
