Pradyumna’s Abduction, Mahā-māyā, and the Slaying of Śambara
स एव वा भवेन्नूनं यो मे गर्भे धृतोऽर्भक: । अमुष्मिन् प्रीतिरधिका वाम: स्फुरति मे भुज: ॥ ३४ ॥
sa eva vā bhaven nūnaṁ yo me garbhe dhṛto ’rbhakaḥ amuṣmin prītir adhikā vāmaḥ sphurati me bhujaḥ
ใช่แล้ว แน่นอนว่าเขาคือทารกที่ข้าพเจ้าเคยอุ้มไว้ในครรภ์ เพราะความรักต่อเขาเอ่อล้น และแขนซ้ายของข้าพเจ้าก็กระตุกสั่นเป็นลาง

It highlights how pure love and sincerity sharpen intuition; when the heart is clean, one naturally recognizes truth and receives inner confirmation without manipulation or fear.
