सेवां कर्तुं त्विच्छतो दैत्यसंघान्किञ्चित्कालं तपसा क्लिश्यमानान् / वरान्दातुं सद्य एवाभिजातः सद्योजातेत्येव संज्ञामवाप
sevāṃ kartuṃ tvicchato daityasaṃghānkiñcitkālaṃ tapasā kliśyamānān / varāndātuṃ sadya evābhijātaḥ sadyojātetyeva saṃjñāmavāpa
काही काळापासून तपश्चर्येने त्रस्त झालेल्या दैत्यांच्या समूहाची सेवा करण्याच्या इच्छेने, वर देण्यासाठी ते तत्काळ प्रकट झाले; म्हणून त्यांना 'सद्योजात' हे नाव प्राप्त झाले.

FAQs
This verse explains that Sadyojāta is an epithet gained because the divine being manifested instantly to grant boons, highlighting immediacy of grace in response to circumstances and devotion/austerity.
It portrays tapas as a force that can bring about decisive outcomes—here, prompting an immediate manifestation specifically to confer boons upon those engaged in austerities.
Sustained discipline (tapas)—such as vows, restraint, and focused practice—can create transformative results; the verse also cautions that intense effort should be guided toward worthy aims.
