Translation
The child, Yoga-māyā-devī, the younger sister of Lord Viṣṇu, slipped upward from Kaṁsa’s hands and appeared in the sky as Devī, the goddess Durgā, with eight arms, completely equipped with weapons.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
The child, Yogamāyā-devī, the younger sister of Lord Viṣṇu, slipped upward from Kaṁsa's hands and appeared in the sky as Devī, the goddess Durgā, with eight arms, completely equipped with weapons.
KB 10.4.9
But the child immediately slipped out of his hands, went up into the sky and appeared with eight arms as the younger sister of Viṣṇu.
Purport
Kaṁsa tried to dash the child downward against a piece of stone, but since she was Yoga-māyā, the younger sister of Lord Viṣṇu, she slipped upward and assumed the form of the goddess Durgā. The word
anujā,
meaning “the younger sister,” is significant. When Viṣṇu, or Kṛṣṇa, took birth from Devakī, He must have simultaneously taken birth from Yaśodā also. Otherwise how could Yoga-māyā have been
anujā,
the Lord’s younger sister?
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
10. 11. As she was falling to the ground, Mayadevi then with great force leaped up into the sky. Bhaviysa uttara Purana says that she put her foot on his head as she went up into the sky. She is described here as the younger sister of Krsna or Visnu, indicating that Krsna as well as Maya was born from Yasoda. She held weapons in her eight arms to frighten Kamsa.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Though thrown down, she sudden rose up. Bhaviśyottara says kaṁsāsurasyottamāṅge pādaṁ dattvā gatā divam: putting her feet on Kaṁsa’s head she rose in the sky. Her celestial form (devī) was seen by Kaṁsa and others in order to give him faith in her words. She showed a large form with many hands to frighten him. Kṛṣṇa is called Viṣṇu, pervading everywhere, because he entered the minds of Devakī and Yaśodā simultaneously. She is called the younger sister, because she was born from Yaśodā after Kṛṣṇa entered Yaśodā’s mind. Of course Devakī identified the girl as her own out of affection for Yaśodā and thus she regarded her as Kṛṣṇa’s younger sister.
