Translation
O King! After receiving semen from Citraketu, the King of Śūrasena, Kṛtadyuti gradually developed in her pregnancy, just as the moon develops during the bright fortnight.
Personal Guidance
Kṛtadyuti developed in pregnancy gradually, as the moon develops in the bright fortnight. Natural rhythms accompany sacred growths.
Reflection Questions
- Am I respecting the natural pace of a sacred development?
- Where am I trying to force growth that should be allowed to ripen?
