My Lord, You are the original generator of all living entities, stationary or moving, and You are also the generator of the PrajÄpatis. O my Lord, as a boat is the only hope for a person drowning in the water, You are the only shelter for the demigods, who are now bereft of their heavenly position.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Eighth Canto, Seventeenth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “The Supreme Lord Agrees to Become Aditi’s Son.â€
