From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
The Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Yogamāyā took birth as twins from the womb of Mother Yaśodā in her room in Nanda’s palace. They were born at midnight on Āṣṭamī (the eighth day after the full moon) in the month of Bhādra when the star (nakṣatra) known as Rohiṇī was visible in the sky.
One can take darśana of Yogamāyā here. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam vividly describes how the most fortunate Nanda Bābā became very joyful upon receiving a son. After the ceremony known as nāḍīcheda-saṁskāra had been performed, in which the umbilical cord is cut, baby Kṛṣṇa was bathed and so on. Nanda Bābā then called the brāhmaṇas to perform the various purificatory rituals and other rites of childbirth118.
Śrī Raghupati Upādyāya says: “In a world frightened by birth and death, some people take shelter of the Śrutis, some of Smṛtis and some of the Mahābhārata. But I pay my homage to Śrī Nandarāya, in whose courtyard Parabrahma is playing as a child.”
