Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Devī can modify Devakī and Rukmiṇī and indicates they were worthy of worship. They are mentioned first because of their great prema and representing the highest śakti. Vasudeva and others are mentioned afterwards because of lesser prema. Suhrḍaḥ can mean relatives or friends.
