This episode holds important significance as it narrates the story of the divine coming out of Yoga Maya and the celebration of Krishna's birth.

Key points include:

• When Vasudeva was carrying the newborn Krishna across the Yamuna River, the river miraculously receded to allow safe passage, symbolizing the divine protection surrounding Krishna's birth.

• Vasudeva safely places Krishna in the cradle of Yashoda, and takes the baby girl Yoga Maya, who was born to Yashoda, to the prison of Kamsa.

• Despite Kamsa's attempt to kill Yoga Maya by dashing her against a stone, she escapes and reveals to him that the child destined to kill him is elsewhere.

• Meanwhile, celebrations erupt in Gokula among the Yadava cowherds on the birth of Krishna, the divine savior.

• This Dashakam illustrates the cosmic drama surrounding Krishna's birth, emphasizing divine intervention, protection, and the victory of good over evil.
