sandiá¹£á¹aivaá¹ bhagavatÄ
tathety om iti tad-vacaḥ
pratigá¹›hya parikramya
gÄá¹ gatÄ tat tathÄkarot
sandiá¹£á¹Ä - having been ordered; evam - thus; bhagavatÄ - by the Supreme Personality of Godhead; tathÄ iti - so be it; oá¹ - affirmation by the mantra oá¹; iti - thus; tat-vacaḥ - His words; pratigá¹›hya - accepting the order; parikramya - after circumambulating Him; gÄm - to the surface of the globe; gatÄ - she immediately went; tat - the order, as given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead; tathÄ - just so; akarot - executed.
Thus instructed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Yoga-mÄyÄ immediately agreed. With the Vedic mantra om, she confirmed that she would do what He asked. Thus having accepted the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, she circumambulated Him and started for the place on earth known as Nanda-gokula. There she did everything just as she had been told.
After receiving the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Yoga-mÄyÄ twice confirmed her acceptance by saying, “Yes, sir, I shall do as You order,†and then saying om. ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« ṬhÄkura comments that om signifies Vedic confirmation. Thus Yoga-mÄyÄ very faithfully received the Lord’s order as a Vedic injunction. It is a fact that whatever is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is a Vedic injunction that no one should neglect. In Vedic injunctions there are no mistakes, illusions, cheating or imperfection. Unless one understands the authority of the Vedic version, there is no purpose in quoting Å›Ästra. No one should violate the Vedic injunctions. Rather, one should strictly execute the orders given in the Vedas. As stated in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (16.24):
tasmÄc chÄstraá¹ pramÄṇaá¹ te
kÄryÄkÄrya-vyavasthitau
jñÄtvÄ Å›Ästra-vidhÄnoktaá¹
karma kartum ihÄrhasi
“One should understand what is duty and what is not duty by the regulations of the scriptures. Knowing such rules and regulations, one should act so that one may gradually be elevated.â€
