Srimad Bhagavatam. Canto 3: The Status Quo

Chapter 31: Lord Kapila's Instructions on the Movements of the Living Entities. Text 22

कपिल उवाच
एवं कृतमतिर्गर्भे दशमास्यः स्तुवन्नृषिः ।
सद्यः क्षिपत्यवाचीनं प्रसूत्यै सूतिमारुतः ॥२२॥

kapila uvÄca
evaá¹ ká¹›ta-matir garbhe
daÅ›a-mÄsyaḥ stuvann ṛṣiḥ
sadyaḥ ká¹£ipaty avÄcÄ«naá¹
prasÅ«tyai sÅ«ti-mÄrutaḥ

 kapilaḥ uvÄca - Lord Kapila said; evam - thus; ká¹›ta-matiḥ - desiring; garbhe - in the womb; daÅ›a-mÄsyaḥ - ten-month-old; stuvan - extolling; á¹›á¹£iḥ - the living entity; sadyaḥ - at that very time; ká¹£ipati - propels; avÄcÄ«nam - turned downward; prasÅ«tyai - for birth; sÅ«ti-mÄrutaḥ - the wind for childbirth.


Text

Lord Kapila continued: The ten-month-old living entity has these desires even while in the womb. But while he thus extols the Lord, the wind that helps parturition propels him forth with his face turned downward so that he may be born.
