Translation
The son of Devahotra known as Yogeśvara will appear as a portion of the Lord from the womb of Bṛhatī. He will perform activities for the welfare of Divaspati. The Lord will do beneficial acts for Divaspati, Indra.
Yogeśvara, partial incarnation, born of Devahotra and Bṛhatī, will work for Divaspati's welfare. Incarnations work for the welfare of specific others. The Lord descends with a beneficiary in mind.
Reflection Questions
  • Whose welfare am I working for — specifically, by name — in my current dharmic life?
  • Where am I trying to serve 'everyone' instead of identifying the specific person to whom I am sent?
