The phrase ‘sOma kula-ambikAmbhOja madhu-karam’ contains the Raga Mudra
According to the Skanda Purana, the Devas took the form of termites to gnaw at the bowstring of Vishnu, who was sleeping resting his chin on the bow. When the string snapped, his head was severed and the Devas gave him a horse’s head. Thus Vishnu’s incarnation as Hayagriva took place and he killed the demon Hayagriva and saved the Vedas and Devas. The termite-hill became a Shivalinga. Valmika means anthill or termite hill.

Since Vishnu is considered another form of Parvati or Lalita (and hence also called her brother), his incarnation as Mohini is identified with her.

Comments:

This Kriti is in the fourth Vibhakti
Krishna acquired the name Damodara when Yashoda tied him to a mortar and the rope marks showed in his abdomen.
gOpI jana manOllAsAya : According to exponents of Vyakarana, when the words “manas” and “ullAsa” are combined, the result can only be “mana ullAsa”. Therefore, it is possible that manOllAsa was intended to be “manas + lAsa”, which would result in “manOlAsa”(manOlAsAya in the fourth Vibhakti) as per grammar. The words “ullAsa” and “lAsa” are synonymous – indicating sporting, or shining or delighting. “mAnasOllAsAya” is a grammatically correct form too.
