own womb; dadhara—conceived; devam—the Supreme Lord; trayi—the

TRANSLATION
As the Vedas are the reservoir of sacrificial purposes, so the daughter of
King Devaka-bhoja conceived the Supreme Personality of Godhead in her
womb, as did the mother of the demigods. Is she [ Devaki] doing well?
PURPORT
The Vedas are full of transcendental knowledge and spiritual values, and
thus Devaki, the mother of Lord Krsna, conceived the Lord in her womb
as the personified meaning of the Vedas. There is no difference between
the Vedas and the Lord. The Vedas aim at the understanding of the Lord,
and the Lord is the Vedas personified. Devaki is compared to the meaning-
ful Vedas and the Lerd to their purpose personified.
