O all-auspicious Yoga-mÄyÄ, I shall then appear with My full six opulences as the son of DevakÄ«, and you will appear as the daughter of mother YaÅ›odÄ, the queen of MahÄrÄja Nanda.

Purport

The word aá¹Å›a-bhÄgena is important in this verse. In Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (10.42) the Lord says:

athavÄ bahunaitena
 kiá¹ jñÄtena tavÄrjuna
viṣṭabhyÄham idaá¹ ká¹›tsnam
 ekÄá¹Å›ena sthito jagat

“But what need is there, Arjuna, for all this detailed knowledge? With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.†Everything is situated as a part of the Supreme Lord’s potency. In regard to Lord Kṛṣṇa’s appearance in the womb of DevakÄ«, BrahmÄ played a part also because on the bank of the Milk Ocean he requested the Supreme Personality of Godhead to appear. A part was also played by Baladeva, the first expansion of Godhead. Similarly, Yoga-mÄyÄ, who appeared as the daughter of mother YaÅ›odÄ, also played a part. Thus jÄ«va-tattva, viṣṇu-tattva and Å›akti-tattva are all integrated with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and when Kṛṣṇa appears, He appears with all His integrated parts. As explained in previous verses, Yoga-mÄyÄ was requested to attract Saá¹…kará¹£aṇa, Baladeva, from the womb of DevakÄ« to the womb of Rohiṇī, and this was a very heavy task for her. Yoga-mÄyÄ naturally could not see how it was possible for her to attract Saá¹…kará¹£aṇa. Therefore Kṛṣṇa addressed her as Å›ubhe, auspicious, and said, “Be blessed. Take power from Me, and you will be able to do it.†By the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, anyone can do anything, for the Lord is present in everything, all things being His parts and parcels (aá¹Å›a-bhÄgena) and increasing or decreasing by His supreme will. BalarÄma was only fifteen days older than Kṛṣṇa. By the blessings of Kṛṣṇa, Yoga-mÄyÄ became the daughter of mother YaÅ›odÄ, but by the supreme will she was not able to enjoy the parental love of her father and mother. Kṛṣṇa, however, although not actually born from the womb of mother YaÅ›odÄ, enjoyed the parental love of mother YaÅ›odÄ and Nanda. By the blessings of Kṛṣṇa, Yoga-mÄyÄ was able to achieve the reputation of being the daughter of mother YaÅ›odÄ, who also became famous by the blessings of Kṛṣṇa. YaÅ›odÄ means “one who gives fame.â€
