The sage said: Do not be disappointed with yourself, O princess. You are actually praiseworthy. The infallible Supreme Personality of Godhead will shortly enter your womb as your son.
Purport
Kardama Muni encouraged his wife not to be sorry, thinking herself unfortunate, because the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by His incarnation, was going to come from her body.

Translation
O princess! O faultless wife! Do not lament your misfortune. The Supreme Lord will enter your womb soon.
O women who cannot be criticized (anindite)! Do not lament.

Personal Guidance
The verse points beyond impersonal abstraction to a Lord who hears, acts, and relates. Spiritual life gets real once we stop talking about Him and start talking to Him. Its centre of gravity is Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Reflection Questions
- Whom do you actually address when you pray — a concept, or a person?
- How does relating to a person, rather than a principle, change how you speak in prayer?
