The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
तामुवाच महाभागामदितिं तपसान्विताम् । देवि गर्भः सुसंपूर्णः सूतिकालः प्रवर्तते
tāmuvāca mahābhāgāmaditiṃ tapasānvitām | devi garbhaḥ susaṃpūrṇaḥ sūtikālaḥ pravartate
Er sprach zu der hochbegnadeten Aditi, die von Tapas erfüllt war: „O Göttin, die Schwangerschaft ist vollkommen vollendet; nun beginnt die Zeit der Geburt.“
Unspecified (narrative voice reports: 'he said to Aditi')
Concept: Divine timing ripens naturally: when inner preparation is complete, the next dharmic step unfolds without strain.
Application: Trust completion: when a long effort reaches maturity, shift from striving to allowing; act when the ‘right time’ is clear rather than forcing outcomes.

FAQs
Aditi is a revered divine mother-figure (often associated with the Ādityas) and is portrayed here as a virtuous woman strengthened by tapas (austerity).
It announces that Aditi’s pregnancy has reached full term and that the time for childbirth has begun, emphasizing completion (susaṁpūrṇa) and the natural onset of sūtikāla.
The verse subtly links spiritual discipline (tapas) with auspicious outcomes, presenting austerity and virtue as supportive conditions surrounding sacred life-events.
