Indumatī’s Auspicious Dream and the Prophecy of a Viṣṇu-Portioned Son
महामणियुतं दीप्तं धामज्वालासमाकुलम् । क्षिप्तं तेन मुखप्रांते दत्तं मुक्ताफलं पुनः
mahāmaṇiyutaṃ dīptaṃ dhāmajvālāsamākulam | kṣiptaṃ tena mukhaprāṃte dattaṃ muktāphalaṃ punaḥ
Dihiasi permata agung, gemilang, sarat dengan nyala cahaya dhāma—baginda melemparkannya ke tepi mulut, lalu sekali lagi mengurniakan muktāphala, buah mutiara suci.

Concept: Divine grace often arrives as a ‘token’—a small, luminous sign that seals protection and remembrance.

FAQs
Muktāphala literally means “pearl-fruit.” In usage it commonly denotes a pearl, or something pearl-like offered or bestowed; the verse describes it as being given again (punaḥ).
The clustered descriptors (dīpta, dhāma, jvālā, mahāmaṇi-yuta) create an image of a luminous, jewel-adorned object, highlighting splendor and potency—often used in Purāṇic narration to mark divine or extraordinary items.
The speaker cannot be reliably identified from this single isolated verse. In the Padma Purāṇa, Bhūmi-khaṇḍa often occurs within a framed dialogue; the immediately preceding and following verses are needed to attribute speech accurately.
