queller of the Yamunā's flood
the river subsides for the crossing
Who dispersed the Yamunā's flood — the swollen Yamunā automatically parts to allow Vasudeva passage; the text says the river was eager to touch the Lord's feet.
यमुनापूरविध्वंसी स्वभासोद्भासितव्रजः ।कृतात्मविद्याविन्यासो योगमायाग्रसम्भवः॥

queller of the Yamunā's flood
the river subsides for the crossing
Who dispersed the Yamunā's flood — the swollen Yamunā automatically parts to allow Vasudeva passage; the text says the river was eager to touch the Lord's feet.
who lit up Vraja with his own radiance
Who illumined Vraja with his own radiance — as Vasudeva arrives in Gokula carrying the newborn, the whole village floods with an inexplicable light before dawn.
who established the knowledge of the Self
Who established ātmavidyā — at the birth, Vasudeva receives direct Self-knowledge through the cosmic vision; the child-form that follows is the teaching made visible.
who took birth in concert with Yogamāyā
the goddess born to Yaśodā the same night
Born through Yoga-māyā's agency — the Lord instructs Yoga-māyā to facilitate the entire birth: the embryo transfer, the birth itself, the exchange, the guards' sleep.
