The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
एवमाभाष्य देवेशः स जगाम स्वकं गृहम् । असूत पुत्रं सा देवी काले प्राप्ते महोदये
evamābhāṣya deveśaḥ sa jagāma svakaṃ gṛham | asūta putraṃ sā devī kāle prāpte mahodaye
ครั้นตรัสดังนี้แล้ว พระผู้เป็นใหญ่แห่งเทพก็เสด็จกลับสู่ที่ประทับของพระองค์ ครั้นถึงกาลอันควร ในยามมหามงคล เทวีนั้นก็ประสูติพระโอรสหนึ่งองค์

The verse is in third-person narration; it does not explicitly name a dialogue speaker, so it is best treated as a narrator’s statement within the chapter’s ongoing story.
It emphasizes that events—especially birth and major life-turns—are framed as occurring at a divinely fitting, auspicious moment, aligning the narrative with ideas of ṛta (cosmic order) and śubha-kāla (propitious time).
The verse suggests trust in proper timing and divine order: after rightful speech and action, outcomes unfold “in due course,” encouraging patience, faith, and steadiness in dharmic conduct.
