Alas, your father is omniscient, but you do not know his actual order. Without knowing the actual purpose of your father, how will you create progeny?

Translation
How will you create, not knowing the instruction of your father who is knowledgeable, while not seeing these things?
Vipaścitaḥ means omniscient.

Personal Guidance
Nārada asks: your father is omniscient but you don't know his real order — how will you actually create progeny? Surface compliance without grasp of underlying purpose produces nothing.
Reflection Questions
- Whose 'real order' am I executing without understanding?
- What clarifying question have I been avoiding asking?
