When the Sudarśana disc enters those provinces, the pregnant wives of the demons all have miscarriages due to fear of its effulgence.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
When the Sudarśana disc enters those provinces, the pregnant wives of the demons all have miscarriages due to fear of its effulgence. If the child is lost up to the fourth month after pregnancy it is called garbha-srāva and if the child is lost in the fifth or sixth month it is called garbha-pāta.
When Sudarśana enters those realms, even pregnant demonesses miscarry. What is begun in defiance of the Lord cannot stand when His full presence arrives. Be careful what you give birth to; some projects cannot survive the Lord's arrival.
Reflection Questions
  • What am I currently 'incubating' that would not survive the Lord's full attention?
  • What in me wants to be brought into being instead, that would thrive in His presence?
