If Śiva with Pārvatī, or Nārāyaṇa with Lakṣmī, or a Brahmin and his wife appear in a dream to someone,

A white woman, the mother of the gods, Jāhnavī, Sarasvatī, a cowherd girl, a young girl, or Rādhikā in my form—
बालश्च बालगोपालः स्वप्नविद्भिः प्रकाशितः । एष ते कथितो नन्द सुस्वप्नः पुण्यहेतुकः
A boy or young cowherd boy is revealed by those who know dreams; this auspicious dream, arising from merit, has been told to you, O Nanda.
इति श्रीब्रह्मo महाo श्रीकृष्णजन्मखo उत्तo नारादनाo सुस्वप्नकथानं नाम सप्तसप्ततितमोऽध्यायः
Thus ends the seventy-seventh chapter named 'The Account of Auspicious Dreams' in the Great Brahma Vaivarta Purāṇa, in the section on the birth of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, spoken by Nārada.
अथाष्टसप्ततितमोऽध्यायः नन्द उवाच श्रीक़ष्ण जगतां नाथ सुस्वप्नश्च श्रुतो मया । वेदसारो नीतिसारो लौकिको वैदिकस्तथा
Now, the seventy-eighth chapter. Nanda said: O Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Lord of the worlds, I have heard about auspicious dreams—the essence of the Vedas, the essence of ethics, both worldly and Vedic.
