Slokam 11
Aditi is the mother of the asuras. Kashyapa is thefather. They are the parents of Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu. It must be noted that the dwarapalikas of the Paramathma, were always born as asuras to dirupt the world. Actually, the disruption was only to ultimately retore and strengthen dharmic forces.
Aditi, as the mother of Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakshipu, does accept that her sons may be born as demons. However, she does request, that they die at the hands of the Paramathma alone.
She is unable to accept the demise of Vritasura at the hands of Indira. She propitiates the help of the Paramatma, as advised by her husband Kashyapa. The Paramatma, not being one to relent to the defeat of Dharma, responds to her plea by bestowing her with the Maruts (wind devotees), who become friends with Indira. Peace is restored.
Sri Bhattadri points out a very important aspect of the results of prayers directed at the Paramathma. Aditi prays for the destruction of Indira. The Paramathma turns the intent of her prayer around to strengthen the cause of friendship and peace.
The Paramathma never lets down His devotees. We may be, and often are, far from perfect. We are full of flaws. Yet he makes the effort to pacify us and make sure that all inputs to maintain us on the correct path are provided. The Paramathma will not let down even one of us.
Let us all be dedicated in an unhesitating fashion to resolve all our problems and lead selfless lives.
