Brihad Bhagavatamrta
Part 1 Chapter 7 Texts 76-78

tad-durvaco nisamyadau
devakyoktam abhijnaya
samasta-jagad-adhara-
bhavad-adhara-bhutaya

putratam vara-desvarah
asmin nanda-yasodabhyam
bhaktih samprarthita vidhim

TRANSLATION
[Uddhava told Krsna:] The wise Devaki shelters You, who shelter the entire world. When she heard those wicked words, she said, “Foolish woman, what is unusual here? Sri Vasudeva and I, in our previous lives, underwent austerities to get the Lord as our son, and therefore, the Lord, the bestower of all boons, accepted that role. But Nanda and Yasoda prayed to Lord Brahma for pure devotion.”

Srimad Bhagavatam
Canto 10 Chapter 15 Text 1

sri-suka uvaca
tatas ca pauganda-vayah-sritau vraje
babhuvatus tau pasu-pala-sammatau
gas carayantau sakhibhih samam padair
vrndavanam punyam ativa cakratuh

TRANSLATION
Sukadeva Gosvami said: When Lord Rama and Lord Krsna attained the age of pauganda [six to ten] while living in Vrndavana, the cowherd men allowed Them to take up the task of tending the cows. Engaging thus in the company of Their friends, the two boys rendered the land of Vrndavana most auspicious by imprinting upon it the marks of Their lotus feet.
