Diti’s Puṁsavana Vow, Indra’s Intervention, and the Birth of the Maruts
एवं ते सर्वमाख्यातं यन्मां त्वं परिपृच्छसि । मङ्गलं मरुतां जन्म किं भूय: कथयामि ते ॥ ७८ ॥
evaṁ te sarvam ākhyātaṁ yan māṁ tvaṁ paripṛcchasi maṅgalaṁ marutāṁ janma kiṁ bhūyaḥ kathayāmi te
Mein lieber König Parīkṣit, ich habe, soweit es möglich war, deine Fragen beantwortet, besonders diese reine und glückverheißende Erzählung von der Geburt der Maruts. Frage nun weiter, und ich werde dir mehr darlegen.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to the Sixth Canto, Eighteenth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Diti Vows to Kill King Indra.”
This verse concludes that Śukadeva Gosvāmī has already narrated the auspicious account of the Maruts’ birth in response to the listener’s inquiry, indicating the episode is complete.
He says this as a closing statement to Parīkṣit’s question, signaling that the requested explanation has been fully given and asking what further topic Parīkṣit would like to hear.
It teaches attentive inquiry and complete, faithful explanation—ask sincerely, hear carefully, and recognize when a teaching has been fully delivered before moving to the next subject.
