Pregnancy of Diti in the Evening

3.14.1

श्रीशुक उवाच निशम्य कौषारविणोपवर्णितां हरे: कथां कारणसूकरात्मन: । पुन: स पप्रच्छ तमुद्यताञ्जलि- र्न चातितृप्तो विदुरो धृतव्रत: ॥ १ ॥

sri-suka uvaca nisamya kausaravinopavarnitam hareh katham karana-sukaratmanah punah sa papraccha tam udyatanjalir na catitrpto viduro dhrta-vratah

Sukadeva Gosvami said: After hearing from the great sage Maitreya about the Lord’s incarnation as Varaha, Vidura, who had taken a vow, begged him with folded hands to please narrate further transcendental activities of the Lord, since he (Vidura) did not yet feel satisfied.

3.14.2

विदुर उवाच तेनैव तु मुनिश्रेष्ठ हरिणा यज्ञमूर्तिना । आदिदैत्यो हिरण्याक्षो हत इत्यनुशुश्रुम ॥ २ ॥

vidura uvaca tenaiva tu muni-srestha harina yajna-murtina adi-daityo hiranyakso hata ity anususruma

Sri Vidura said: O chief amongst the great sages, I have heard by disciplic succession that Hiranyaksa, the original demon, was slain by the same form of sacrifices, the Personality of Godhead (Lord Boar).

3.14.3

तस्य चोद्धरत: क्षौणीं स्वदंष्ट्राग्रेण लीलया । दैत्यराजस्य च ब्रह्मन् कस्माद्धेतोरभून्मृध: ॥ ३ ॥

tasya coddharatah ksaunim sva-damstragrena lilaya daitya-rajasya ca brahman kasmad dhetor abhun mrdhah

What was the reason, O brahmana, for the fight between the demon king and Lord Boar while the Lord was lifting the earth as His pastime?

3.14.4

श्रद्दधानाय भक्ताय ब्रूहि तज्जन्मविस्तरम् । ऋषे न तृप्यति मन: परं कौतूहलं हि मे ॥ ४ ॥

sraddadhanaya bhaktaya bruhi taj-janma-vistaram rse na trpyati manah param kautuhalam hi me

My mind has become very inquisitive, and therefore I am not satisfied with hearing the narration of the Lord’s appearance. Please, therefore, speak more and more to a devotee who is faithful.

3.14.5

मैत्रेय उवाच साधु वीर त्वया पृष्टमवतारकथां हरे: । यत्त्वं पृच्छसि मर्त्यानां मृत्युपाशविशातनीम् ॥ ५ ॥

maitreya uvaca sadhu vira tvaya prstam avatara-katham hareh yat tvam prcchasi martyanam mrtyu-pasa-visatanim

The great sage Maitreya said: O warrior, the inquiry made by you is just befitting a devotee because it concerns the incarnation of the Personality of Godhead. He is the source of liberation from the chain of birth and death for all those who are otherwise destined to die.

3.14.6

ययोत्तानपद: पुत्रो मुनिना गीतयार्भक: । मृत्यो: कृत्वैव मूर्ध्‍न्यङ्‌घ्रि मारुरोह हरे: पदम् ॥ ६ ॥

yayottanapadah putro munina gitayarbhakah mrtyoh krtvaiva murdhny anghrim aruroha hareh padam

By hearing these topics from the sage (Narada), the son of King Uttanapada (Dhruva) was enlightened regarding the Personality of Godhead, and he ascended to the abode of the Lord, placing his feet over the head of death.

3.14.7

अथात्रापीतिहासोऽयं श्रुतो मे वर्णित: पुरा । ब्रह्मणा देवदेवेन देवानामनुपृच्छताम् ॥ ७ ॥

athatrapitihaso ’yam sruto me varnitah pura brahmana deva-devena devanam anuprcchatam

This history of the fight between the Lord as a boar and the demon Hiranyaksa was heard by me in a year long ago as it was described by the foremost of the demigods, Brahma, when he was questioned by the other demigods.

3.14.8

दितिर्दाक्षायणी क्षत्तर्मारीचं कश्यपं पतिम् । अपत्यकामा चकमे सन्ध्यायां हृच्छयार्दिता ॥ ८ ॥

ditir daksayani ksattar maricam kasyapam patim apatya-kama cakame sandhyayam hrc-chayardita

Diti, daughter of Daksa, being afflicted with sex desire, begged her husband, Kasyapa, the son of Marici, to have intercourse with her in the evening in order to beget a child.

3.14.9

इष्ट्वाग्निजिह्वं पयसा पुरुषं यजुषां पतिम् । निम्‍लोचत्यर्क आसीनमग्‍न्यगारे समाहितम् ॥ ९ ॥

istvagni-jihvam payasa purusam yajusam patim nimlocaty arka asinam agny-agare samahitam

The sun was setting, and the sage was sitting in trance after offering oblations to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu, whose tongue is the sacrificial fire.

3.14.10

दितिरुवाच एष मां त्वत्कृते विद्वन् काम आत्तशरासन: । दुनोति दीनां विक्रम्य रम्भामिव मतङ्गज: ॥ १० ॥

ditir uvaca esa mam tvat-krte vidvan kama atta-sarasanah dunoti dinam vikramya rambham iva matangajah

In that place the beautiful Diti expressed her desire: O learned one, Cupid is taking his arrows and distressing me forcibly, as a mad elephant troubles a banana tree.

3.14.11

तद्भवान्दह्यमानायां सपत्नीनां समृद्धिभि: । प्रजावतीनां भद्रं ते मय्यायुङ्क्तामनुग्रहम् ॥ ११ ॥

tad bhavan dahyamanayam sa-patninam samrddhibhih prajavatinam bhadram te mayy ayunktam anugraham

Therefore you should be kind towards me by showing me complete mercy. I desire to have sons, and I am much distressed by seeing the opulence of my co-wives. By performing this act, you will become happy.

3.14.12

भर्तर्याप्तोरुमानानां लोकानाविशते यश: । पतिर्भवद्विधो यासां प्रजया ननु जायते ॥ १२ ॥

bhartary aptorumananam lokan avisate yasah patir bhavad-vidho yasam prajaya nanu jayate

A woman is honored in the world by the benediction of her husband, and a husband like you will become famous by having children because you are meant for the expansion of living entities.

3.14.13

पुरा पिता नो भगवान्दक्षो दुहितृवत्सल: । कं वृणीत वरं वत्सा इत्यपृच्छत न: पृथक् ॥ १३ ॥

pura pita no bhagavan dakso duhitr-vatsalah kam vrnita varam vatsa ity aprcchata nah prthak

In days long ago, our father, the most opulent Daksa, who was affectionate to his daughters, asked each of us separately whom we would prefer to select as our husband.

3.14.14

स विदित्वात्मजानां नो भावं सन्तानभावन: । त्रयोदशाददात्तासां यास्ते शीलमनुव्रता: ॥ १४ ॥

sa viditvatmajanam no bhavam santana-bhavanah trayodasadadat tasam yas te silam anuvratah

Our well-wishing father, Daksa, after knowing our intentions, handed over thirteen of his daughters unto you, and since then we have all been faithful.

3.14.15

अथ मे कुरु कल्याणं कामं कमललोचन । आर्तोपसर्पणं भूमन्नमोघं हि महीयसि ॥ १५ ॥

atha me kuru kalyanam kamam kamala-locana artopasarpanam bhumann amogham hi mahiyasi

O lotus-eyed one, kindly bless me by fulfilling my desire. When someone in distress approaches a great person, his pleas should never go in vain.

3.14.16

इति तां वीर मारीच: कृपणां बहुभाषिणीम् । प्रत्याहानुनयन् वाचा प्रवृद्धानङ्गकश्मलाम् ॥ १६ ॥

iti tam vira maricah krpanam bahu-bhasinim pratyahanunayan vaca pravrddhananga-kasmalam

O hero (Vidura), Diti, being thus afflicted by the contamination of lust, and therefore poor and talkative, was pacified by the son of Marici in suitable words.

3.14.17

एष तेऽहं विधास्यामि प्रियं भीरु यदिच्छसि । तस्या: कामं न क: कुर्यात्सिद्धिस्त्रैवर्गिक यत: ॥ १७ ॥

esa te ’ham vidhasyami priyam bhiru yad icchasi tasyah kamam na kah kuryat siddhis traivargiki yatah

O afflicted one, I shall forthwith gratify whatever desire is dear to you, for who else but you is the source of the three perfections of liberation?

3.14.18

सर्वाश्रमानुपादाय स्वाश्रमेण कलत्रवान् । व्यसनार्णवमत्येति जलयानैर्यथार्णवम् ॥ १८ ॥

sarvasraman upadaya svasramena kalatravan vyasanarnavam atyeti jala-yanair yatharnavam

As one can cross over the ocean with seagoing vessels, one can cross the dangerous situation of the material ocean by living with a wife.

3.14.19

यामाहुरात्मनो ह्यर्धं श्रेयस्कामस्य मानिनि । यस्यां स्वधुरमध्यस्य पुमांश्चरति विज्वर: ॥ १९ ॥

yam ahur atmano hy ardham sreyas-kamasya manini yasyam sva-dhuram adhyasya pumams carati vijvarah

O respectful one, a wife is so helpful that she is called the better half of a man’s body because of her sharing in all auspicious activities. A man can move without anxiety entrusting all responsibilities to his wife.

3.14.20

यामाश्रित्येन्द्रियारातीन्दुर्जयानितराश्रमै: । वयं जयेम हेलाभिर्दस्यून्दुर्गपतिर्यथा ॥ २० ॥

yam asrityendriyaratin durjayan itarasramaih vayam jayema helabhir dasyun durga-patir yatha

As a fort commander very easily conquers invading plunderers, by taking shelter of a wife one can conquer the senses, which are unconquerable in the other social orders.

3.14.21

न वयं प्रभवस्तां त्वामनुकर्तुं गृहेश्वरि । अप्यायुषा वा कार्त्स्‍न्येन ये चान्ये गुणगृध्नव: ॥ २१ ॥

na vayam prabhavas tam tvam anukartum grhesvari apy ayusa va kartsnyena ye canye guna-grdhnavah

O queen of the home, we are not able to act like you, nor could we repay you for what you have done, even if we worked for our entire life or even after death. To repay you is not possible, even for those who are admirers of personal qualities.

3.14.22

अथापि काममेतं ते प्रजात्यै करवाण्यलम् । यथा मां नातिरोचन्ति मुहूर्तं प्रतिपालय ॥ २२ ॥

athapi kamam etam te prajatyai karavany alam yatha mam natirocanti muhurtam pratipalaya

Even though it is not possible to repay you, I shall satisfy your sex desire immediately for the sake of begetting children. But you must wait for only a few seconds so that others may not reproach me.

3.14.23

एषा घोरतमा वेला घोराणां घोरदर्शना । चरन्ति यस्यां भूतानि भूतेशानुचराणि ह ॥ २३ ॥

esa ghoratama vela ghoranam ghora-darsana caranti yasyam bhutani bhutesanucarani ha

This particular time is most inauspicious because at this time the horrible-looking ghosts and constant companions of the lord of the ghosts are visible.

3.14.24

एतस्यां साध्वि सन्ध्यायां भगवान् भूतभावन: । परीतो भूतपर्षद्‍‌भिर्वृषेणाटति भूतराट् ॥ २४ ॥

etasyam sadhvi sandhyayam bhagavan bhuta-bhavanah parito bhuta-parsadbhir vrsenatati bhutarat

Lord Siva, the king of the ghosts, sitting on the back of his bull carrier, travels at this time, accompanied by ghosts who follow him for their welfare.

3.14.25

श्मशानचक्रानिलधूलिधूम्र- विकीर्णविद्योतजटाकलाप: । भस्मावगुण्ठामलरुक्‍मदेहो देवस्त्रिभि: पश्यति देवरस्ते ॥ २५ ॥

smasana-cakranila-dhuli-dhumra- vikirna-vidyota-jata-kalapah bhasmavagunthamala-rukma-deho devas tribhih pasyati devaras te

Lord Siva’s body is reddish, and he is unstained, but he is covered with ashes. His hair is dusty from the whirlwind dust of the burning crematorium. He is the younger brother of your husband, and he sees with his three eyes.

3.14.26

न यस्य लोके स्वजन: परो वा नात्याद‍ृतो नोत कश्चिद्विगर्ह्य: । वयं व्रतैर्यच्चरणापविद्धा- माशास्महेऽजां बत भुक्तभोगाम् ॥ २६ ॥

na yasya loke sva-janah paro va natyadrto nota kascid vigarhyah vayam vratair yac-caranapaviddham asasmahe ’jam bata bhukta-bhogam

Lord Siva regards no one as his relative, yet there is no one who is not connected with him; he does not regard anyone as very favorable or abominable. We respectfully worship the remnants of his foodstuff, and we vow to accept what is rejected by him.

3.14.27

यस्यानवद्याचरितं मनीषिणो गृणन्त्यविद्यापटलं बिभित्सव: । निरस्तसाम्यातिशयोऽपि यत्स्वयं पिशाचचर्यामचरद्‍गति: सताम् ॥ २७ ॥

yasyanavadyacaritam manisino grnanty avidya-patalam bibhitsavah nirasta-samyatisayo ’pi yat svayam pisaca-caryam acarad gatih satam

Although no one in the material world is equal to or greater than Lord Siva, and although his unimpeachable character is followed by great souls to dismantle the mass of nescience, he nevertheless remains as if a devil to give salvation to all devotees of the Lord.

3.14.28

हसन्ति यस्याचरितं हि दुर्भगा: स्वात्मन्-रतस्याविदुष: समीहितम् । यैर्वस्त्रमाल्याभरणानुलेपनै: श्वभोजनं स्वात्मतयोपलालितम् ॥ २८ ॥

hasanti yasyacaritam hi durbhagah svatman-ratasyavidusah samihitam yair vastra-malyabharananulepanaih sva-bhojanam svatmatayopalalitam

Unfortunate, foolish persons, not knowing that he is engaged in his own self, laugh at him. Such foolish persons engage in maintaining the body—which is eatable by dogs—with dresses, ornaments, garlands and ointments.

3.14.29

ब्रह्मादयो यत्कृतसेतुपाला यत्कारणं विश्वमिदं च माया । आज्ञाकरी यस्य पिशाचचर्या अहो विभूम्नश्चरितं विडम्बनम् ॥ २९ ॥

brahmadayo yat-krta-setu-pala yat-karanam visvam idam ca maya ajna-kari yasya pisaca-carya aho vibhumnas caritam vidambanam

Demigods like Brahma also follow the religious rites observed by him. He is the controller of the material energy, which causes the creation of the material world. He is great, and therefore his devilish characteristics are simply imitation.

3.14.30

मैत्रेय उवाच सैवं संविदिते भर्त्रा मन्मथोन्मथितेन्द्रिया । जग्राह वासो ब्रह्मर्षेर्वृषलीव गतत्रपा ॥ ३० ॥

maitreya uvaca saivam samvidite bhartra manmathonmathitendriya jagraha vaso brahmarser vrsaliva gata-trapa

Maitreya said: Diti was thus informed by her husband, but she was pressed by Cupid for sexual satisfaction. She caught hold of the clothing of the great brahmana sage, just like a shameless public prostitute.

3.14.31

स विदित्वाथ भार्यायास्तं निर्बन्धं विकर्मणि । नत्वा दिष्टाय रहसि तयाथोपविवेश हि ॥ ३१ ॥

sa viditvatha bharyayas tam nirbandham vikarmani natva distaya rahasi tayathopavivesa hi

Understanding his wife’s purpose, he was obliged to perform the forbidden act, and thus after offering his obeisances unto worshipable fate, he lay with her in a secluded place.

3.14.32

अथोपस्पृश्य सलिलं प्राणानायम्य वाग्यत: । ध्यायञ्जजाप विरजं ब्रह्म ज्योति: सनातनम् ॥ ३२ ॥

athopasprsya salilam pranan ayamya vag-yatah dhyayan jajapa virajam brahma jyotih sanatanam

Thereafter the brahmana took his bath in the water and controlled his speech by practicing trance, meditating on the eternal effulgence and chanting the holy Gayatri hymns within his mouth.

3.14.33

दितिस्तु व्रीडिता तेन कर्मावद्येन भारत । उपसङ्गम्य विप्रर्षिमधोमुख्यभ्यभाषत ॥ ३३ ॥

ditis tu vridita tena karmavadyena bharata upasangamya viprarsim adho-mukhy abhyabhasata

O son of the Bharata family, Diti, after this, went nearer to her husband, her face lowered because of her faulty action. She spoke as follows.

3.14.34

दितिरुवाच न मे गर्भमिमं ब्रह्मन् भूतानामृषभोऽवधीत् । रुद्र: पतिर्हि भूतानां यस्याकरवमंहसम् ॥ ३४ ॥

ditir uvaca na me garbham imam brahman bhutanam rsabho ’vadhit rudrah patir hi bhutanam yasyakaravam amhasam

The beautiful Diti said: My dear brahmana, kindly see that my embryo is not killed by Lord Siva, the lord of all living entities, because of the great offense I have committed against him.

3.14.35

नमो रुद्राय महते देवायोग्राय मीढुषे । शिवाय न्यस्तदण्डाय धृतदण्डाय मन्यवे ॥ ३५ ॥

namo rudraya mahate devayograya midhuse sivaya nyasta-dandaya dhrta-dandaya manyave

Let me offer my obeisances unto the angry Lord Siva, who is simultaneously the very ferocious great demigod and the fulfiller of all material desires. He is all-auspicious and forgiving, but his anger can immediately move him to chastise.

3.14.36

स न: प्रसीदतां भामो भगवानुर्वनुग्रह: । व्याधस्याप्यनुकम्प्यानां स्त्रीणां देव: सतीपति: ॥ ३६ ॥

sa nah prasidatam bhamo bhagavan urv-anugrahah vyadhasyapy anukampyanam strinam devah sati-patih

Let him be pleased with us, since he is my brother-in-law, the husband of my sister Sati. He is also the worshipable lord of all women. He is the personality of all opulences and can show mercy towards women, who are excused even by the uncivilized hunters.

3.14.37

मैत्रेय उवाच स्वसर्गस्याशिषं लोक्यामाशासानां प्रवेपतीम् । निवृत्तसन्ध्यानियमो भार्यामाह प्रजापति: ॥ ३७ ॥

maitreya uvaca sva-sargasyasisam lokyam asasanam pravepatim nivrtta-sandhya-niyamo bharyam aha prajapatih

Maitreya said: The great sage Kasyapa thus addressed his wife, who was trembling because of fear that her husband was offended. She understood that he had been dissuaded from his daily duties of offering evening prayers, yet she desired the welfare of her children in the world.

3.14.38

कश्यप उवाच अप्रायत्यादात्मनस्ते दोषान्मौहूर्तिकादुत । मन्निदेशातिचारेण देवानां चातिहेलनात् ॥ ३८ ॥

kasyapa uvaca aprayatyad atmanas te dosan mauhurtikad uta man-nidesaticarena devanam catihelanat

The learned Kasyapa said: Because of your mind’s being polluted, because of defilement of the particular time, because of your negligence of my directions, and because of your being apathetic to the demigods, everything was inauspicious.

3.14.39

भविष्यतस्तवाभद्रावभद्रे जाठराधमौ । लोकान् सपालांस्त्रींश्चण्डि मुहुराक्रन्दयिष्यत: ॥ ३९ ॥

bhavisyatas tavabhadrav abhadre jatharadhamau lokan sa-palams trims candi muhur akrandayisyatah

O haughty one, you will have two contemptuous sons born of your condemned womb. Unlucky woman, they will cause constant lamentation to all the three worlds!

3.14.40

प्राणिनां हन्यमानानां दीनानामकृतागसाम् । स्त्रीणां निगृह्यमाणानां कोपितेषु महात्मसु ॥ ४० ॥

praninam hanyamananam dinanam akrtagasam strinam nigrhyamananam kopitesu mahatmasu

They will kill poor, faultless living entities, torture women and enrage the great souls.

3.14.41

तदा विश्वेश्वर: क्रुद्धो भगवाल्लोकभावन: । हनिष्यत्यवतीर्यासौ यथाद्रीन् शतपर्वधृक् ॥ ४१ ॥

tada visvesvarah kruddho bhagaval loka-bhavanah hanisyaty avatiryasau yathadrin sataparva-dhrk

At that time the Lord of the universe, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the well-wisher of all living entities, will descend and kill them, just as Indra smashes the mountains with his thunderbolts.

3.14.42

दितिरुवाच वधं भगवता साक्षात्सुनाभोदारबाहुना । आशासे पुत्रयोर्मह्यं मा क्रुद्धाद्ब्राह्मणाद्प्रभो ॥ ४२ ॥

ditir uvaca vadham bhagavata saksat sunabhodara-bahuna asase putrayor mahyam ma kruddhad brahmanad prabho

Diti said: It is very good that my sons will be magnanimously killed by the arms of the Personality of Godhead with His Sudarsana weapon. O my husband, may they never be killed by the wrath of the brahmana devotees.

3.14.43

न ब्रह्मदण्डदग्धस्य न भूतभयदस्य च । नारकाश्चानुगृह्णन्ति यां यां योनिमसौ गत: ॥ ४३ ॥

na brahma-danda-dagdhasya na bhuta-bhayadasya ca narakas canugrhnanti yam yam yonim asau gatah

A person who is condemned by a brahmana or is always fearful to other living entities is not favored either by those who are already in hell or by those in the species in which he is born.

3.14.44-45

कश्यप उवाच कृतशोकानुतापेन सद्य: प्रत्यवमर्शनात् । भगवत्युरुमानाच्च भवे मय्यपि चादरात् ॥ ४४ ॥ पुत्रस्यैव च पुत्राणां भवितैक: सतां मत: । गास्यन्ति यद्यश: शुद्धं भगवद्यशसा समम् ॥ ४५ ॥

kasyapa uvaca krta-sokanutapena sadyah pratyavamarsanat bhagavaty uru-manac ca bhave mayy api cadarat putrasyaiva ca putranam bhavitaikah satam matah gasyanti yad-yasah suddham bhagavad-yasasa samam

The learned Kasyapa said: Because of your lamentation, penitence and proper deliberation, and also because of your unflinching faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead and your adoration for Lord Siva and me, one of the sons [Prahlada] of your son [Hiranyakasipu] will be an approved devotee of the Lord, and his fame will be broadcast equally with that of the Personality of Godhead.

3.14.46

योगैर्हेमेव दुर्वर्णं भावयिष्यन्ति साधव: । निर्वैरादिभिरात्मानं यच्छीलमनुवर्तितुम् ॥ ४६ ॥

yogair hemeva durvarnam bhavayisyanti sadhavah nirvairadibhir atmanam yac-chilam anuvartitum

In order to follow in his footsteps, saintly persons will try to emulate his character by practicing freedom from animosity, just as the purifying processes rectify gold of inferior quality.

3.14.47

यत्प्रसादादिदं विश्वं प्रसीदति यदात्मकम् । स स्वद‍ृग्भगवान् यस्य तोष्यतेऽनन्यया द‍ृशा ॥ ४७ ॥

yat-prasadad idam visvam prasidati yad-atmakam sa sva-drg bhagavan yasya tosyate ’nanyaya drsa

Everyone will be pleased with him because the Personality of Godhead, the supreme controller of the universe, is always satisfied with a devotee who does not wish for anything beyond Him.

3.14.48

स वै महाभागवतो महात्मा महानुभावो महतां महिष्ठ: । प्रवृद्धभक्त्या ह्यनुभाविताशये निवेश्य वैकुण्ठमिमं विहास्यति ॥ ४८ ॥

sa vai maha-bhagavato mahatma mahanubhavo mahatam mahisthah pravrddha-bhaktya hy anubhavitasaye nivesya vaikuntham imam vihasyati

That topmost devotee of the Lord will have expanded intelligence and expanded influence and will be the greatest of the great souls. Due to matured devotional service, he will certainly be situated in transcendental ecstasy and will enter the spiritual sky after quitting this material world.

3.14.49

अलम्पट: शीलधरो गुणाकरो हृष्ट: परर्द्ध्या व्यथितो दु:खितेषु । अभूतशत्रुर्जगत: शोकहर्ता नैदाघिकं तापमिवोडुराज: ॥ ४९ ॥

alampatah sila-dharo gunakaro hrstah pararddhya vyathito duhkhitesu abhuta-satrur jagatah soka-harta naidaghikam tapam ivodurajah

He will be a virtuously qualified reservoir of all good qualities; he will be jolly and happy in others’ happiness, distressed in others’ distress, and will have no enemies. He will be a destroyer of the lamentation of all the universes, like the pleasant moon after the summer sun.

3.14.50

अन्तर्बहिश्चामलमब्जनेत्रं स्वपूरुषेच्छानुगृहीतरूपम् । पौत्रस्तव श्रीललनाललामं द्रष्टा स्फुरत्कुण्डलमण्डिताननम् ॥ ५० ॥

antar bahis camalam abja-netram sva-purusecchanugrhita-rupam pautras tava sri-lalana-lalamam drasta sphurat-kundala-manditananam

Your grandson will be able to see, inside and outside, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose wife is the beautiful goddess of fortune. The Lord can assume the form desired by the devotee, and His face is always beautifully decorated with earrings.

3.14.51

मैत्रेय उवाच श्रुत्वा भागवतं पौत्रममोदत दितिर्भृशम् । पुत्रयोश्च वधं कृष्णाद्विदित्वासीन्महामना: ॥ ५१ ॥

maitreya uvaca srutva bhagavatam pautram amodata ditir bhrsam putrayos ca vadham krsnad viditvasin maha-manah

The sage Maitreya said: Hearing that her grandson would be a great devotee and that her sons would be killed by Krsna, Diti was highly pleased in mind.
