Purport

ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« ṬhÄkura discusses that Kṛṣṇa appeared simultaneously as the son of DevakÄ« and as the son of YaÅ›odÄ, along with the spiritual energy Yoga-mÄyÄ. As the son of DevakÄ«, He first appeared as Viṣṇu, and because Vasudeva was not in the position of pure affection for Kṛṣṇa, Vasudeva worshiped his son as Lord Viṣṇu. YaÅ›odÄ, however, pleased her son Kṛṣṇa without understanding His Godhood. This is the difference between Kṛṣṇa as the son of YaÅ›odÄ and as the son of DevakÄ«. This is explained by ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« on the authority of Hari-vaá¹Å›a.
