I called for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, desiring a son like Him, and I thought of Him only. But although He is far beyond the mental speculation of man, all three of you have come here. Kindly let me know how you have come, for I am greatly bewildered about this.
Purport
Atri Muni was confidently aware that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the Lord of the universe, so he prayed for the one Supreme Lord. He was surprised, therefore, that three of them appeared.

Translation
I fixed my mind upon one Lord with articles of worship, for creating progeny. Why have three of you come here, from far beyond the minds of men? Please be merciful and tell me. I am filled with bewilderment.
They remained silent. Thus he clarifies his statement. I have fixed one person in my mind, with various articles of worship (pradhānaiḥ), for creating progeny. Another version has vibhudha-pradhāna (chief among the devatās). Why have three of you come?
