hridayāsīd yathā purā

SYNONYMS

sadyah — after all these philosophical speculations, mother Yaśodā fully surrendered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead; nashta-smritih — having gotten rid of the memory of seeing the universal form within Krishna's mouth; gopī — mother Yaśodā; — she; āropya — seating; āroham — on the lap; ātmajam — her son; pravriddha — increased; sneha — by affection; kalila — affected; hridayā — the core of her heart; āsīt — became situated; yathā purāas she was formerly.

TRANSLATION

Immediately forgetting yogamāyā's illusion that Krishna had shown the universal form within His mouth, mother Yaśodā took her son on her lap as before, feeling increased affection in her heart for her transcendental child.

PURPORT

Mother Yaśodā regarded the vision of the universal form within Krishna's mouth as an arrangement of yogamāyā, like a dream. As one forgets everything after a dream, mother Yaśodā immediately forgot the entire incident. As her natural feeling of affection increased, she decided to herself, "Now let this incident be forgotten. I do not mind. Here is my son. Let me kiss Him."
