Translation
The son of Āryaka known as Dharmasetu, a portion of the Lord, will appear from the womb of Vaidhṛtā, the wife of Āryaka, and will protect the three worlds.
Personal Guidance
Dharmasetu, a partial incarnation of the Lord, will appear from Vaidhṛtā and rule three worlds. Even partial incarnations rule three worlds. We undercount the power of seemingly small divine appearances.
Reflection Questions
  • Where have I undercounted a 'small' divine appearance in my own life because I expected something larger?
  • What current support of mine, partial in its visibility, might actually rule the three worlds of my circumstance?
