 astv ity uktaḥ sa bhagavān
 vraje droṇo mahā-yaśāḥ
 jajñe nanda iti khyāto
 yaśodā sā dharābhavat
 
 WORD BY WORD
 
 
 
 TRANSLATION
 
 
 |   | When Brahmā said, “Yes, let it be so,” the most fortune Droṇa, who was equal to Bhagavān, appeared in Vrajapura, Vṛndāvana, as the most famous Nanda Mahārāja, and his wife, Dharā, appeared as mother Yaśodā. 
 | 
 PURPORT
 
 
 |   | Because whenever Kṛṣṇa appears on this earth He superficially needs a father and mother, Droṇa and Dharā, His eternal father and mother, appeared on earth before Kṛṣṇa as Nanda Mahārāja and Yaśodā. In contrast to Sutapā and Pṛśni, they did not undergo severe penances and austerities to become the father and mother of Kṛṣṇa. This is the difference between nitya-siddha and sādhana-siddha.
