Puṁsavana / Viṣṇu-vrata: Worship of Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa for Auspicious Progeny and Fortune
युवां तु विश्वस्य विभू जगत: कारणं परम् । इयं हि प्रकृति: सूक्ष्मा मायाशक्तिर्दुरत्यया ॥ ११ ॥
yuvāṁ tu viśvasya vibhū jagataḥ kāraṇaṁ param iyaṁ hi prakṛtiḥ sūkṣmā māyā-śaktir duratyayā
至尊有力者啊!你们二位——毗湿奴与圣母拉克希米——是整个宇宙的主宰,亦是创造的至上因。此“自性”(prakṛti)极其微妙;它是你们的幻力(māyā-śakti),难以超越。
This verse states that prakṛti (material nature) is the Lord’s māyā-śakti and is duratyayā—very difficult to cross—implying liberation requires the Lord’s grace and devotional surrender.
In Canto 6, Chapter 19, Diti acknowledges the divine supremacy behind cosmic events, recognizing that both creation and the workings of material nature proceed under the Supreme Lord’s ultimate causality.
See material pressures and illusions as māyā’s influence; cultivate bhakti—prayer, remembrance, and disciplined living—to stay aligned with the Supreme beyond changing circumstances.
