(At the prayer of Deva (a), Vishnu decided to incarnate in part (अंश) on the Earth in Devaki's womb. Visualising the possibility of Kans's (कंश) misdeeds killing six of her sons He called his Shakti (शक्ति) Yogmaya (योगमाया) and ordered her to transfer his incarnate-embryo from Devaki's womb to the womb of Rohini (रोहिणी), the second wife of Vasudev (arca), who was outside prison, so that Balram may be born from Rohini's womb. He also ordered Yogmaya herself to incarnate on Earth taking birth as Yashoda's daughter. Vishnu at the same time decided to incarnate fully (अवतार) as Devaki's 8th child. The strategy being that the 7th child of Devaki, Balram would be saved by embryo-transfer and the 8th child Krishna would be replaced by Vasudev with Yashoda's daughter Yogmaya and when Kans tries to kill her she being an angelic-incarnation, would vanish. Yogmaya did exactly as instructed by Vishnu, she hypnotised Devaki and Rohini into deep sleep and then transferred Balram's embryo in the 7th month of pregnancy to Rohini's womb. Thus Kans's purpose was defeated.)
The noteworthy aspects of the above operation are - i) The operation takes place when the embryo is 7 months old. ii) The process of hypnotising the incumbents into deep sleep
before the operation takes place. Dr. Parameswar Solanki has without questioning the possibility of such an embryo-transfer remarked (see Jain Bharati, Vol. 39.3 March 1991, pages 147-148) that the Jain Acharyas may have been guided in
