Verse Text
premavad, yathā –
prekṣya tatra muni-rāja-maṇḍalaiḥ
stūyamānam api mukta-sambhramā |
kṛṣṇam aṅkam abhi gokuleśvarī
prasnutā kuru-bhuvi nyavīviśat ||56||
Translation
Yaśodā’s appearing to have prema: Knowing from talking to others that Kṛṣṇa was being glorified by the sages at that place, Yaśodā, milk flowing from her breasts, entered Kurukṣetra without reverence for Him as the Lord.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Prekṣya means “understanding by talking to others.” She understood that she would be able to meet Him in the inner quarters. Prekṣā means intelligence. kuru-bhuvi nyavīviśat is the correct version.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
When many very great sages were offering prayers to Lord Kṛṣṇa, glorifying His activities, the Queen of Gokula, Mother Yaśodā, entered the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, wetting the lower part of her sari with the milk flowing from her breast. This entrance of Mother Yaśodā at Kurukṣetra was not during the Battle of Kurukṣetra. At another time Kṛṣṇa went to Kurukṣetra from His paternal home (Dvārakā) during a solar eclipse, and at that time the residents of Vṛndāvana also went to see Him there.
