Vaishampayana said:—Under these arrangements the celestial-like Devaki conceived for seven times as described before (1). Kansa killed the _Sargarbhas_ by dashing them against a stone, as soon as they came out. The embryo of the seventh conception was transferred to Rohini (2). Once on a time at the dead of night while Rohini was sleeping a sound sleep there took place a discharge of blood followed by an abortion (3). Rohini, in a dream, saw the falling of her embryo and when she awoke, a little after, she was greatly pained on not seeing it (4). In that dark night Vasudeva’s wife Rohini, resembling the moon, was worked up with great anxiety; thereat the goddess of sleep said to her (5). "O fair one, I have extracted the embryo out of Devaki’s womb and placed it in yours. Therefore this your son will be celebrated by the name of Sangkarshana" (6). Obtaining that son she was pleased and with her head down she entered her own house like the beautiful wife of the moon (7). When people grew anxious of instituting enquiries about the seventh conception of Devaki she conceived him for the eighth time for whom Kansa had killed her seven children (8). Kansa’s servants began to watch it with great care wherein the Lord Hari was living of his own accord (9). Yashodā too conceived the goddess of sleep, begotten of a portion of Vishnu’s energy and intent on carrying out his command (10). Before the period of conception was complete, in the eighth month both Devaki and Yashodā simultaneously gave birth to their children (11). In the same night in which Krishna was born in the race of Vrishnis, Yashodā gave birth to her daughter (12). Vasudeva’s wife Devaki and Nanda’s wife Yashoda, both of them, conceived at the same time (13). In the auspicious midnight and in _Abkijit Muhurtta_, Devaki gave birth to Vishnu and Yashodā to that daughter (14). When Janārddana was born, the oceans were agitated, the pillars of the earth were shaken, the fires, that had been extinguished, began to burn, auspicious winds began to blow, the dust was removed and the luminous bodies manifested themselves (15–16). When the invisible, eternal and powerful Lord Hari of subtle soul, who encompasses the well-being of the world, was born, the night was Jayanti, the _Nakshatra_ was Abhijit and Muhurtta was Vijaya. As soon as he was born he overpowered all the worlds with his looks. The celestial bugles began to produce sound without being struck and the king of gods showered flowers from the etherial region. The great saints, accompanied by the Gandharvas and Apsaras, chanted the glories of the slayer of Madhu in auspicious hymns. When Hrishikesha was born the whole universe was in an ecstacy of joy (17–20). Indra too, along with the gods, eulogised the glories of Madhusudhana. Seeing, in that night, Vishnu²⁰² born as his son, bearing the mystic mark of Srivasta and other signs of divinity Vasudeva said to him, "O lord, do thou withdraw this form of thine.
