दितितपः-शक्रपरिचर्या-गर्भभेदः
Diti’s Penance, Indra’s Service, and the Severing of the Embryo
तस्यास्तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा मारीच: काश्यपस्तदा।प्रत्युवाच महातेजा दितिं परमदु:खिताम्।।1.46.4।।
tasyās tad-vacanaṃ śrutvā mārīcaḥ kāśyapas tadā | pratyuvāca mahātejā ditiṃ parama-duḥkhitām || 1.46.4 ||
Nang marinig ang kanyang mga salita, ang maningning na si Kāśyapa, anak ni Marīci, ay sumagot kay Diti na lubhang nilalamon ng dalamhati.
Then, Maricha's son, exceedingly bright Kasyapa on hearing the words of Diti who was deeply grieved replied:
Dharma here is compassionate responsiveness: the sage listens to suffering and answers with guidance rather than indifference.
Diti, grieving, speaks to Kāśyapa; after hearing her plea, he prepares to respond with a boon/instruction.
Kāśyapa’s restraint and compassion—he listens carefully and replies in a measured, dharmic manner.
