Verse 45

³⁹You two, husband and wife, had not tasted the pleasures of ordinary life, and you had no child; and you did not choose release from me, being bewildered by my maya. ⁴⁰When I had gone, having got the boon of a son like me, the two of you enjoyed the pleasures of ordinary life, your wish being now got. ⁴¹Seeing no one else in the world your equal in the qualities of character and generosity, I became your son, and I was known as Prsnigarbha. ⁴²Then again, of you two, I came to be from Kasyapa in Aditi, known as Upendra, and, because I was small, as Vamana. ⁴³In this third coming to be, in that same body, I have been born once more of the two of you, of the same pair. What I said to you is true, good woman.

⁴⁴This form was shown to you so that you would remember my earlier births. Otherwise the knowledge of what I am does not arise from the sign of a mortal. ⁴⁵The two of you, thinking of me again and again both as your son and as Brahman, with love made toward me, will go to my highest station.
