śrī-śukaḥ uvāca - Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; evam - in this way; putreṣu - when her sons; naṣṭeṣu - disappearing from their position; deva-mātā - the mother of the demigods; aditiḥ - Aditi; tadā - at that time; hṛte - because of being lost; tri-viṣṭape - the kingdom of heaven; daityaiḥ - by the influence of the demons; paryatapyat - began to lament; anātha-vat - as if she had no protector.

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King, when Aditi’s sons, the demigods, had thus disappeared from heaven and the demons had occupied their places, Aditi began lamenting, as if she had no protector.
