Author's pov :-
At Mathura :-
Night:
In the heart of Mathura, Devki's agonized screams pierced the air once more as she entered the throes of labor. Amidst the pain, the anticipation of yet another separation weighed heavily on her and Vasudev's hearts. Nanda, too, felt the weight of impending fate as he remembered the divine decree for dharma sthapana.
After what felt like an eternity, the cries of a newborn baby girl filled the room, signaling the arrival of Yogmaya herself. Devki cradled her daughter lovingly, her heart torn between joy and sorrow as she gazed upon her precious child, knowing the inevitable separation that awaited them.
Tears welled up in Devki and Vasudev's eyes as they embraced their daughter, their hearts heavy with the pain of parting once again. As the cosmic forces of fate converged, they knew the time had come for their daughter's journey to begin.
With trembling hands and tear-streaked faces, they kissed their newborn daughter countless times before Vasudev summoned the courage to place her in a basket and embark on the journey of separation. The jail door opened as if by divine intervention, and Vasudev stepped out into the night, his heart heavy with the weight of his daughter's destiny.
Krishna (in mind): "Maiya, Baba, I understand your pain. But trust in the divine plan, for all shall be well in the end."
As Vasudev journeyed through the stormy seas, his heart filled with fear for his daughter's safety. In his moment of despair, he called out to Narayan for help, and miraculously, the divine serpent, Shesha Nag, came to their aid, shielding them from the raging tempest.
In a moment of divine intervention, Krishna's lila unfolded as he blinked his eyes, channeling his divine power to orchestrate the exchange of destinies. With a gentle touch of his magic, he ensured that his sister, Yogmaya, found her way to safety while Draupadi, the daughter of Nanda and Yashoda, took her place in the cradle beside him.

In Gokul :-
In Gokul, amidst the tranquil beauty of the village, Yashoda's cries of labor mingled with the joyful laughter of Baby Krishna, who was blissfully unaware of the bittersweet moment unfolding around him.
As Yashoda gave birth to her daughter, Draupadi, Krishna's heart swelled with love and empathy for his parents, knowing the pain of separation that awaited them. Krishna, though too young to comprehend the gravity of the situation, smiled in innocent understanding, his eyes twinkling with empathy.
In the serene aftermath of labor, Yashoda lay in a state of exhaustion, her delicate frame overcome by the ordeal she had endured. Nanda, her loving husband, entered the room cradling their newborn daughter, Draupadi, in his arms. The ved and daima present in the room offered their congratulations before quietly departing, leaving the family in a cocoon of peace.
Gently, Nanda placed the infant beside Yashoda, his heart swelling with pride and love for his wife and newborn child. He tenderly stroked Yashoda's hair, waiting for her to awaken from her slumber.
As Yashoda stirred, her eyes fluttered open, and in a single breath, she bombarded Nanda with questions, her maternal instincts yearning to know about their second child.
Yashoda: "Arya! Where is my second child? Is it a girl or a boy? Who does he or she resemble? Arya, why are you silent? Tell me!"
Nanda's smile softened, his heart heavy with the weight of the truth he was about to reveal. He gently urged Yashoda to be patient, allowing her to gather her thoughts.
Nanda: "Pranpriye, please stay silent for a moment so I can answer."
Yashoda acquiesced, her eyes filled with anticipation as she awaited Nanda's response.
Nanda: "Here is your beloved daughter. Take her, Yashoda."
With a mixture of joy and relief, Yashoda accepted the newborn into her embrace, her heart overflowing with love at the sight of her precious child.
Yashoda: "Look, Arya, what a charming daughter the Lord has bestowed upon me. She is just like her brother, enchanting in every way. With just one look at this little girl, all sorrows will vanish."
Nanda nodded in agreement, his heart swelling with pride at the sight of his daughter, who bore a striking resemblance to her older brother.
Unbeknownst to Yashoda, her real son lay peacefully in Krishna's room, where the young siblings shared a silent exchange of telepathic messages.

Amidst the joyous celebrations of Draupadi's birth, Krishna smiled knowingly, his eyes reflecting the depth of his divine wisdom as he watched over his beloved sister from afar. With a whispered prayer for her safety and well-being, knowing that their destinies were intertwined by the threads of love and sacrifice.
As Krishna's dau stirred from his slumber, Krishna gently shook him, revealing the news of their sister's arrival.
Balaram: "What's wrong, Chote?"
Krishna (telepathically): "Dau, our sister is here."
Balaram (telepathically): "Yay! Finally, my little sister is with me."
Krishna (telepathically): "Yes, bhaiya. Now let's sleep."
In the tranquil embrace of familial love, Krishna and Balaram drifted into peaceful slumber, their hearts united in joy at the arrival of their one and only sister! ...

Later, As Vasudev returned to Mathura, his heart heavy with grief and longing, he and Devki exchanged a final, tearful farewell with their daughter, knowing that she was destined for greatness despite the hardships she would face.
