Diti’s Penance, Indra’s Service, and the Severing of the Embryo
गात्रसंवहनश्चैव श्रमापनयनैस्तथा।शक्रस्सर्वेषु कालेषु दितिं परिचचार ह ।।1.46.11।।
gātra-saṁvahanaś caiva śramāpanayanais tathā | śakraḥ sarveṣu kāleṣu ditiṁ paricacāra ha ||1.46.11||
At si Śakra (Indra) ay naglingkod kay Diti sa lahat ng panahon—minamasahe ang kanyang mga sangkap at pinapawi rin ang kanyang pagod.
Indra attended on Diti, stroking her limbs gently from time to time to help her regain their suppleness and alleviate her fatigue.
Dharma is consistent, compassionate care: service is not occasional but sustained (“at all times”), showing that righteousness includes perseverance in duty.
Indra continues personally caring for Diti during her austerities, relieving her bodily strain.
Perseverance in service—steady, time-spanning attention rather than symbolic or momentary help.
