Brihad Bhagavatamrta
Part 1 Chapter 7 Texts 76-78

tad-durvaco nisamyadau
devakyoktam abhijnaya
samasta-jagad-adhara-
bhavad-adhara-bhutaya
ascaryam atra kim murkhe
purva-janmani yat tapah
samam sri-vasudevena
mayakari sutaya tat
ato ‘yam avayoh praptah
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.”
