devakī rohiṇī caiva
vasudevas tathā sutau
kṛṣṇa-rāmāv apaśyantaḥ
śokārtā vijahuḥ smṛtim
devaki -- Devaki; rohini -- Rohini; ca -- also; eva -- indeed; vasudevah -- Vasudeva; tatha -- as well; sutau -- their two sons; krishna-ramau -- Krishna and Rama; apasyantah -- not seeing; soka-artah -- feeling the pain of lamentation; vijahuh -- they lost; smritim -- their consciousness.
When Devaki, Rohini and Vasudeva could not find their sons, Krishna and Rama, they lost consciousness out of anguish.
According to Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, the original Devaki, Rohini and other ladies of Dvaraka actually remained in Dvaraka, invisible to the eyes of the material world, whereas the demigods who represented partial aspects of Devaki, Rohini and so on went to Prabhasa to see their dead relatives.
