एवं भवतु, भद्रं ते शुचिर्भव तपोधने।जनयिष्यसि पुत्रं त्वं शक्रहन्तारमाहवे।।1.46.5।।
evaṃ bhavatu, bhadraṃ te śucir bhava tapo-dhane | janayiṣyasi putraṃ tvaṃ śakra-hantāram āhave || 1.46.5 ||
ਕਾਸ਼੍ਯਪ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ: “ਇਉਂ ਹੀ ਹੋਵੇ; ਤੇਰਾ ਕਲਿਆਣ ਹੋਵੇ, ਹੇ ਤਪ-ਧਨ ਵਾਲੀ ਨਾਰੀ। ਤੂੰ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਰਹੀਂ; ਤੂੰ ਯੁੱਧ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ਼ਕ੍ਰ (ਇੰਦਰ) ਨੂੰ ਮਾਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਜਣੇਂਗੀ।”
"O one vested with the wealth of austerities! be it so. Prosperity to you! Remain chaste, you will deliver a son who will kill Indra in the battle.
Dharma is shown as fidelity to vows: the promised result depends on śauca (purity) and disciplined conduct.
Kāśyapa grants Diti her desired boon but conditions it upon her maintaining purity and observance.
Diti is directed toward self-control (saṃyama) and purity; Kāśyapa exemplifies truthful, conditional blessing.
