nandasya - of MahÄrÄja Nanda; patnÄ« - the wife (mother YaÅ›odÄ); ká¹›ta-majjana-Ädikam - after she and the other members of the house had bathed and the child had been bathed also; vipraiḥ - by the brÄhmaṇas; ká¹›ta-svastyayanam - engaging them in chanting auspicious Vedic hymns; su-pÅ«jitaiḥ - who were all received and worshiped with proper respect; anna-Ädya - by offering them sufficient grains and other eatables; vÄsaḥ - garments; srak-abhÄ«á¹£á¹a-dhenubhiḥ - by offering flower garlands and very desirable cows; sañjÄta-nidrÄ - had become sleepy; aká¹£am - whose eyes; aśīśayat - laid the child down; Å›anaiḥ - for the time being.
After completing the bathing ceremony for the child, mother YaÅ›odÄ received the brÄhmaṇas by worshiping them with proper respect and giving them ample food grains and other eatables, clothing, desirable cows, and garlands. The brÄhmaṇas properly chanted Vedic hymns to observe the auspicious ceremony, and when they finished and mother YaÅ›odÄ saw that the child felt sleepy, she lay down on the bed with the child until He was peacefully asleep.
An affectionate mother takes great care of her child and is always anxious to see that the child is not disturbed even for a moment. As long as the child wants to remain with the mother, the mother stays with the child, and the child feels very comfortable. Mother YaÅ›odÄ saw that her child felt sleepy, and to give Him all facilities for sleep, she lay down with the child, and when He was peaceful, she got up to attend to her other household affairs.
