Because of worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Diti was completely purified. When she got up from bed, she saw her forty-nine sons along with Indra. These forty-nine sons were all as brilliant as fire and were in friendship with Indra, and therefore she was very pleased.

Translation
When she got up from bed, Diti, purified, saw her forty-nine sons, brilliant as fire, along with Indra. She was pleased.
Purified, she awoke and saw her forty-nine sons with Indra — brilliant as fire, friendly with him. Where she had aimed for one Indra-killer, devotion produced forty-nine demigods.
Reflection Questions

  • Was I able to see the expansion as gift, or did I grieve the original aim?
