> \[68\] In that matter, by considering His sovereign majesty, Śrī Vasudeva's parental affection acquired wavering and straightforwardness. Śrī Vrajarāja's parental affection, on the other hand, is well known to be perpetually awakened and completely pure. Moreover, the sages consider only the mind to be the cause of His conception by the parents in the form of a son, based on statements such as: "With His plenary portion, He entered the mind of Ānakadundubhi" (Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.2.26) and "From the mind \[of Vasudeva\], she bore the one who is the soul of all, identical with the self, the bringer of joy, just as the eastern quarter \[bears the moon\]" (Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.2.18). His conception in the minds of the two kings of Vraja \[Nanda and Yaśodā\] is also deduced purely from the inherent nature of their devotion, established by the impossibility of the effect otherwise. And that being so, it is especially fitting now; for upon devotion attaining the supreme stage of absorption, that manifestation takes place. Therefore, He is indeed your son alone; but for that Vasudeva, He was born—manifested—on some specific occasion for a particular purpose."
