The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
मनसा चेप्सितं सर्वं तत्ते दद्मि सुनिश्चितम् । अदितिरुवाच । पूर्वं पुत्रवती भूता प्रसादात्तव माधव
manasā cepsitaṃ sarvaṃ tatte dadmi suniścitam | aditiruvāca | pūrvaṃ putravatī bhūtā prasādāttava mādhava
“నీ మనసులో కోరినదంతా నిశ్చయంగా నీకు ఇస్తాను.” అని. అదితి పలికెను—“హే మాధవా, పూర్వం నీ ప్రసాదముచే నేను పుత్రవతిని అయ్యాను.”
Aditi
Concept: Divine grace is remembered through personal history: gratitude for past blessings becomes the ground for present prayer.
Application: Keep a ‘memory of grace’: recall prior help received, and let that gratitude refine current desires into dharmic petitions.

FAQs
Mādhava is an epithet of Viṣṇu (also used for Kṛṣṇa), invoked here as the divine bestower of grace and boons.
It highlights divine prasāda (grace): heartfelt desires can be fulfilled through the Lord’s favor, and past blessings are remembered as grounds for renewed supplication.
Gratitude and remembrance of prior help are presented as virtues—Aditi recalls earlier grace before seeking or discussing further blessings.
