स्थिता5हं बालभावेन तत्र दोषमबुद्ध्यती । अथ देव: सहस्रांशुर्मत्समीपगतो भवत्
sthitāhaṃ bāla-bhāvena tatra doṣam abuddhyatī | atha devaḥ sahasrāṃśur mat-samīpa-gato bhavat ||
उस समय मैं बाल-स्वभाव में थी; इससे कौन-सा दोष उत्पन्न होगा, यह मैं समझ न सकी। और मेरे आवाहन करते ही सहस्र किरणों वाले भगवान् सूर्य मेरे समीप आकर खड़े हो गए।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights moral accountability shaped by awareness: innocence or lack of understanding can lead one to overlook potential fault, yet actions still carry consequences when divine or powerful forces are invoked.
The speaker recalls being in a childlike, uncomprehending state and not grasping what wrongdoing might result; upon being invoked, the Sun-god (Sahasrāṃśu) appears and stands nearby.
