Dear Sri Chary svAmin,

You are right. Even in the Vishnu-Sahasranamam, one finds reference 
only to 'dEvaki-nandana' ("dEvaki nandana shrasta ksheeteesha: 
pApanAshanah:..."). If my memory serves me right, I don't think there 
is even a single mention of Yasoda in the SahasranAmam. 

It seems to me that while the 'sruti' and 'smriti' are partial 
towards Devaki the "petrat-thAi", the AzhwArs on the other hand 
favoured Yasoda, the "vallartha-thAi"!

I wonder what other members think.

Rgds,
dAsan,

Sudarshan
