Lordship, who had become a human child

for sport, opened (His mouth).
 

 
सा तत्र दहदृशे विश्वं जगत्स्थास्तु चनु खं दिशः ।

साद्रिद्वीपाब्धिभूगोलं सवाय्वग्नीन्दुतारकम् ॥
 

She saw there (in the mouth of her son)

the universe, moving and static, the sky

and the quarters; with the globe of this

earth and its mountains, continents and

oceans, and with air, fire, moon and the

stars.
 

 
त्रय्या चोपनिषद्भिश्च सांख्ययोगैश्च सात्त्वतैः ।

उपगीयमानमाहात्म्यं हरिं साऽमन्यतात्मजम् ॥
 

Yasoda understood that her son was

Hari whose greatness was sung by the

three Vedas, the Upanishads, and the

followers of the Sankhya, the Yoga and

the Satvata.*
 

 
* Sankya is the path of knowledge; Yoga of

action; and Satvata, an Agamik path, is that of

devotion.
