Yashoda Devaki
Version 1
God Rama’s father, Dashrath had three wives, and the Queen consorts had four sons within them - God Rama was born from Kaushalya’s womb while Bharat was borne by Kaykeyi, and Lakshman and Shatrughna by Sumitra.
Kaykeyi loved Rama more that her son Bharat, but she was responsible (under the influence of her maid - servant Manthara) for demanding that Rama, the eldest of the Princes be banished to exile for fourteen years, and her son Bharat, the next in line be made the king. Though Dashrath was reluctant, and didn’t mind foregoing a promise (made to Kaykeyi when she had saved his life on battlefield), Rama did not wish to make His father’s oath go waste and so He decided to go into exile (here comes the ode ‘Raghukul reeti sada chali aayi, praan jaye par vachan na jayi - It is the eternal tradition of Raghu dynasty that an oath should be followed even if it costs one’s life).
So, Rama went into exile. When Rama went into exile the two persons who were saddened most were Rama’s father Dashratha (and he died due to grief) and Kaikeyi, because she indeed loved Rama more than her own son, Bharat, and she also blamed her greed for her son’s enthroning which had cost her husband’s life.
Fourteen years later, when Rama returns to Ayodhya with His wife Sita, and His brother Lakshman, He first goes to meet mother Kaikeyi, who he knew was grief stricken for being responsible for sending Rama to exile. When Rama touched her feet, Kaikeyi asked Rama why he had chosen her to be a villain thus sending him to exile, Rama replied that it was the Karma which had resulted in happening so. To atone for this, Kaikeyi sought a promise that He, Rama an incarnation of Vishnu, would be born from her womb in His next incarnation. Because God Vishnu had promised Mother Aditi that he will be born from her womb in every incarnation, he couldn’t promise her that. However, he did promise her that though he would be born from incarnation of mother Kaushalya, he would be raised by her.
So, it happened just as it had been said. In Dwapar yuga, Krishna was born from the womb of Devaki (Kaushalya, Aditi), he was raised by Mother Yashoda (incarnation of Kaikeyi). Also, as Kaikeyi had wished, Krishna would spend His time as a child in her house exactly as a normal child. Be it stealing butter from her pots, or playing the flute, or playing with the Gopis, and other naughty stunts children do, like playing with ball dangerously, and He even frightened Yashoda once - Krishna did it all.
Note: It is a common misconception that Kaikeyi was Devaki, and Kaushalya was Yashoda. This is clearly mentioned otherwise in Rig Veda (about Vishnu and Mother Aditi). Reference can also be found in ‘Devi Bhagvatam’.
Lord Sri Rama’s mother who suffered 16 years of separation from lord Rama.
2 years when Rama was back from gurukul and went back with his guru again to kill demons on missions.
14 years in excile.
So those 16 years he was with Yashoda
And Devki was mother of Bharat. Who had pending karma of separating mother from Son?
Version 2
Kaykeyi loved Rama more that her son Bharat, but she was responsible (under the influence of her maid - servant Manthara) for demanding that Rama, the eldest of the Princes be banished to exile for fourteen years, and her son Bharat, the next in line be made the king. Though Dashrath was reluctant, and didn’t mind foregoing a promise (made to Kaykeyi when she had saved his life on battlefield), Rama did not wish to make His father’s oath go waste and so He decided to go into exile (here comes the ode ‘Raghukul reeti sada chali aayi, praan jaye par vachan na jayi - It is the eternal tradition of Raghu dynasty that an oath should be followed even if it costs one’s life).
So, Rama went into exile. When Rama went into exile the two persons who were saddened most were Rama’s father Dashratha (and he died due to grief) and Kaikeyi, because she indeed loved Rama more than her own son, Bharat, and she also blamed her greed for her son’s enthroning which had cost her husband’s life.
Fourteen years later, when Rama returns to Ayodhya with His wife Sita, and His brother Lakshman, He first goes to meet mother Kaikeyi, who he knew was grief stricken for being responsible for sending Rama to exile. When Rama touched her feet, Kaikeyi asked Rama why he had chosen her to be a villain thus sending him to exile, Rama replied that it was the Karma which had resulted in happening so.

Because God Vishnu had promised Mother Aditi that he will be born from her womb in every incarnation, he couldn’t promise her that. However, he did promise her that though he would be born from incarnation of mother Kaushalya, he would be raised by her.
So, it happened just as it had been said. In Dwapar yuga, Krishna was born from the womb of Devaki (Kaushalya, Aditi), he was raised by Mother Yashoda (incarnation of Kaikeyi).
