Translation
The King, his attempt for progeny frustrated, performed a sacrifice to the Maruts to get a son. The devatās known as the Maruts gave him a son named Bharadvāja.
For continuing his lineage, he performed a sacrifice to the Maruts. The Maruts brought and gave him a son named Bharadvāja.
Personal Guidance
After this catastrophe, Bharata performs marut-stoma and the Maruts give him a son. The Lord can supply through unexpected channels what biology and ordinary expectations have failed to deliver.
Reflection Questions
- What unexpected channel might be willing to give me what biology or expectation could not?
- Where am I closed off to the Marut-sent answer because it does not look like my plan?
