[47] Then, out of fear of the archers skilled in the divine arrows who guarded the king of Vraja, she abandoned her dreadful natural form and, like an illusionist, assumed an enchanting alternate guise. Thinking, 'Surely this goddess of fortune, descending upon the earth and seeking her own particular shelter, will take refuge in none other than the newly born son of the king of Vraja, who is endowed with every auspicious mark,' the guards, whose hearts were captivated, did not bar her new form, nor did the female guards take heed, failing to recognize Pūtanā's intention. She, a partisan siding with Kaṃsa, was unable to abide near the hearing and chanting of the Lord of the Sātvatas; killing the infants of those averse to him, she was regarded solely as his ally. Even so, in order to accomplish a special wonder, Yogamāyā, arriving in union, brought about her coming to glorious Vraja; because of this, fixing her eyes nowhere else and transcending everything, she looked upon that very child residing in the mansion of glorious Nanda. Just as a moth might perceive in the darkness a cluster of coals resembling sparks resting in a brazier, she, owing to the illusion wrought by Yogamāyā presenting him as an ordinary boy, did not properly perceive him, just as one might mistake a blazing ember for a cluster of bright guñjā berries.
