Om VishnuPad Vishwanatha Chakravarti Thakur in Tika to 10.06.37 dwells on Shreemati Putana-Devi obtaining Vatsalya-Moksha.
Actually, before reading the Tika of Om VishnuPad Vishwanatha Chakravarti Thakur I reckoned that Shreemati Putana-Devi was destined for rather simplistic kind of moksha.
But not the case.
As you see
in the following gloss Om VishnuPad Vishwanatha Chakravarti Thakur sheds more Bhakti Light on word "स्वर्गम" (svargam).

Translation: "The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, is always situated within the core of the heart of the pure devotee, and He is always offered prayers by such worshipable personalities as Lord Brahma and Lord Siva. Because Krishna embraced Putana’s body with great pleasure and sucked her breast, although she was a great witch, she attained the position of a mother in the transcendental world and thus achieved the highest perfection. What then is to be said of the cows whose nipples Krsna sucked with great pleasure and who ottered their milk very jubilantly with affection exactly like that of a mother?"
"Sarartha Darshini by Shrila Vishvanatha Cakravarti Thakura" (LINK TO E-BOOK):
"These two verses describe the greatness of Putana’s attainment through the mercy of the Lord. Even though Putana was rakshasi, her body was tread upon by Krishna’s feet which are situated in the hearts of the devotees and worshiped by those worthy of worship (devatas).
Putana’s breast milk was drunk by Krishna, and she attained the supreme abode as a mother of the Lord.
भक्तहृदिस्थाभ्यां (bhaktahR^idisthAbhyAM):
Krishna’s feet are situated only in the hearts of the devotees.
But Putana was neither a devotee nor a non-devotee. She was an enemy of Krishna.
वन्द्याभ्यां लोकवन्दितैः (vandyAbhyAM lokavanditaiH:):
Krishna’s lotus feet are worshiped by worshipable personalities such as Brahma and Siva. But Putana did not worship Krishna’s feet, rather she did the opposite. At time of her death, Putana tried to dislodge Krsna’s feet from her chest. Unable to do so, she began to beat them with all her strength.
समाक्रम्य (samAkramya)
completely, Krishna stepped on Putana forcefully with His feet, not just touching her.
स्वर्गम (svargam)
heavenly planets; Where did Putana go at the time of her death? She attained Vaikuntha. This is explained in Bhagavatam (11.7.1):
“Lord Brahma, Lord Siva and all other planetary rulers are praying to live in Vaikuntha.”
Lord Brahma says in Srimad Bhagavatam (10.14.35):
“Putana attained You along with her family members.”
According to these two verses, the word स्वर्ग (svarga) must mean स्वः वासं (svaH vAsaM) - "Your personal abode or Vaikuntha".
The word does not refer to the material heavenly planet called Svarga.
जननीगतिम् (jananIgatim)
destiny of a mother;
Which Vaikuntha planet did Putana attain? The verse explains that Putana attained the same planet as mother Yasoda.
Therefore, Putana attained Goloka, but her position was predominated by happiness and reverence. She did not attain the place predominated by service in prema.
One cannot say that she attained the status of a mother. Verse 10.6.36 says that place is reserved for those who are anuragi (raktas) with pure loving attachment for Krishna.
Here verse 38 says that the cows and motherly gopis who fed milk to Krishna during the Brahma Vimohana Leela attained a higher destination than Putana.
How could Putana, whose enmity was equal to Kamsa’s, though she imitated the dress and emotion of a gopi, attain the same status as Yasoda?
Therefore Uddhava says in the Srimad Bhagavatam (3.2.23):
लेभे गतिं धात्र्युचितां (lebhe gatiM dhAtryuchitAM): “Putana attained a status like a nurse.”
Thus in the present verse some interpret the word जननी (jananI - mother) to be धात्री (dhAtrI - nurse).
But even then one should not say that Putana was a direct nurse of Krishna.
Rather she attained a form like a nurse in a Goloka filled with सुखैश्वर्य (sukhaishvarya) - reverential happiness".
