'Then, reflecting in accordance with the words of Garga, who possessed a host of austerities—"Previously this son of yours was born somewhere to Vasudeva" [BhP 10.8.14]—it is considered: When Śrī Devakī, out of fear of the cruel Kaṃsa, wished for him to conceal the four-armed form that had appeared and to manifest a two-armed form, then that unprecedented two-armed form of his, which had previously entered the heart of Śrī Yaśodā along with Māyā, obtained proximity right there, and having absorbed the four-armed form into itself, appeared on its own. In that event, Māyā, though staying in the mother's womb in an embodied form, became his conveyance with an upward motion in a formless state; like a series of winds carrying a blue lotus petal, she brought him there entirely unnoticed by anyone. She indeed previously made even the mother faint with delusion by that drawing out and violence.'
