Translation
O King! Brahmā, Śiva, Kārttikeya, the sages headed by Bhṛgu, the Pitṛs and all other living entities present there, including the inhabitants of Siddhaloka and living entities who travel in outer space by airplane, after glorifying the uncommon activities of Vāmana, praised Aditi and returned to their respective planets.
Personal Guidance
Brahmā, Śiva, Kārttikeya, Bhṛgu, saints, Pitṛloka, Siddhas, and air-travelers all glorified Vāmana's activities while returning to their abodes — and they praised Aditi. The mother's vow is celebrated alongside the Lord's deeds. Yajña-fruit names everyone.
Reflection Questions
- Whose vow undergirds my current life that I have not publicly honored?
- Where do I credit a divine outcome without naming the human practitioner whose tapasya midwifed it?
