«كلُّ ما تمنَّيتَه في قلبك فسأمنحُك إيّاه يقينًا.» قالت أديتي: «من قبلُ، يا مَادهافا، بنعمتك نِلتُ بركةَ ابنٍ.»
Aditi
Concept: Divine grace is remembered through personal history: gratitude for past blessings becomes the ground for present prayer.

FAQs
Mādhava is an epithet of Viṣṇu (also used for Kṛṣṇa), invoked here as the divine bestower of grace and boons.
It highlights divine prasāda (grace): heartfelt desires can be fulfilled through the Lord’s favor, and past blessings are remembered as grounds for renewed supplication.
Gratitude and remembrance of prior help are presented as virtues—Aditi recalls earlier grace before seeking or discussing further blessings.
