Translation
From astonishment: Yaśodā became astonished at seeing the heavenly, middle and lower planetary systems within the mouth of Kṛṣṇa when He was beginning to crawl about. The creeper of her body began to blossom with hairs standing on end.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Vailakṣyavatī here means filled with astonishment. Amara-kośa says, vilakṣo vismayānvita: vilakṣa means “filled with astonishment.”
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
The standing up of hair on the body was manifested when Mother Yaśodā found within Kṛṣṇa’s mouth all of the universal planetary systems. She had asked Kṛṣṇa to open His mouth wide just to see whether He had eaten dirt. But when Kṛṣṇa opened His mouth, she saw not only the entire earth, but also many other planets within His mouth. This caused a standing up of the hair on her body.
