Porque um só assumiu muitas formas para ocultar-se no ventre, estes devem ser, sem dúvida, invioláveis; portanto, que se tornem deuses.
Narrator (contextual speaker not explicit in the provided single verse)
Concept: A single principle can manifest as many; divine ordinance can elevate beings to godhood when they are deemed ‘avadhya’ (not to be slain).
Application: See unity behind multiplicity: cultivate a steady center (one vow, one mantra, one dharma) that can express itself in many roles without losing integrity.

FAQs
It links a miraculous act—one assuming many forms to hide within a belly—with the conclusion that certain beings are “avadhya” (not to be killed) and thus worthy of divine status.
“Avadhyāḥ” suggests sacral protection: the beings in question are placed beyond ordinary violence, indicating a moral/theological boundary around life associated with a divine act or boon.
Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa often explains origins and statuses (like devatva) through mythic causality; here, divine rank and immunity arise as consequences of an extraordinary transformative event.
