--Srimad
BhAgavatam : 10.3.1-4 ,8-10
(Meaning):
" SrI Suka said: Now came the most auspicious
and favorable time , when the star RohiNi
was in ascendanance and all the other stars were
in a beneficient disposition . (1)
Peaceful
silence reigned
in all the quarters .
The
stars shone clear in
the sky. All the villages , cowherd
settlements and
mining quarries saw the
dawn of a prosperous era.(2)
The
rivers flowed with pellucid water , the tanks were
full of lotus blossoms.The woodlands were resonant
with the chirping of fluttering birds and the
buzzing of the bees from the trees and creepers
heavy-laden with flowers. (3)
Soft
blew the breeze, dust-free and fragrant
and
gently flowed the fires in the sacrificial
hearths
of the holy.(4)
At
such a time , in the pitch darkness of
the
midnight , MahA VishNu , the resident
in
the hearts of all, was born of the divinely
beautiful
Devaki , like the Full Moon rising on
the
eastern horizon .(8)
Lotus-eyed
, four armed , sporting the conch ,mace
and other weapons; with the luminous Srivatsa
mark on the chest and the shining Kaustubha
on the neck; wearing a yellow cloth;
possessed
of the majesty and grace of a heavy rain
cloud ; with locks gleaming with the lustre of
the
diadem and the ear-rings studded with precious
stones; bedecked with splenderous ornamaments
like bracelets , armlets and waist girdle
--such
was the luminous form
of
THE
UNIQUE CHILD that greeted
VasudevA's
vision " ( 9-10)
