Translation

Moha (vacant mind): “Dear wife! Why are you suffering so much in your mind? Open your eyes and see. Your son is standing in front of you. Dear wife! Do not make this house empty.” O king of the Yadu dynasty! In this way, your father Nanda reveals his grief to Your mother.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

When Nanda Mahārāja was accused by Mother Yaśodā of being “hardhearted,” he replied, “My dear Yaśodā, why are you becoming so agitated? Kindly look more carefully. Just see, your son Kṛṣṇa is standing before you! Don’t become a madwoman like this. Please keep my home peaceful.” And Kṛṣṇa was informed by some friend that His father Nanda was also in illusion in this way, in separation from Him.
