SB 8.17.4
tasyah pradurabhut tata
bhagavan adi-purusah
pita-vasas catur-bahuh
sankha-cakra-gada-dharah
Translation:
My dear King, the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, dressed in yellow garments and bearing a conchshell, disc, club and lotus in His four hands, then appeared before Aditi.
SB 8.17.5
tam netra-gocaram viksya
sahasotthaya sadaram
nanama bhuvi kayena
dandavat-priti-vihvala
Translation:
When the Supreme Personality of Godhead became visible to Aditi's eyes, Aditi was so overwhelmed by transcendental bliss that she at once stood up and then fell to the ground like a rod to offer the Lord her respectful obeisances.
SB 8.17.6
sotthaya baddhañjalir iditum sthita
notseha ananda-jalakuleksana
babhuva tusnim pulakakulakrtis
tad-darsanatyutsava-gatra-vepathuh
Translation:
Aditi stood silently with folded hands, unable to offer prayers to the Lord. Because of transcendental bliss, tears filled her eyes, and the hairs on her body stood on end. Because she could see the Supreme Personality of Godhead face to face, she felt ecstasy, and her body trembled.
SB 8.17.7
pritya sanair gadgadaya gira harim
tustava sa devy aditih kurudvaha
udviksati sa pibativa caksusa
rama-patim yajña-patim jagat-patim
Translation:
O Maharaja Pariksit, the demigoddess Aditi then began offering her prayers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead in a faltering voice and with great love. She appeared as though drinking through her eyes the Supreme Lord, who is the husband of the goddess of fortune, the enjoyer of all sacrificial ceremonies, and the master and Lord of the entire universe.
Purport:
After observing the payo-vrata, Aditi was certain that the Lord had appeared before her as Rama-pati, the husband of all good fortune, just to offer her sons all opulences. She had performed the yajña of payo-vrata under the direction of her husband, Kasyapa, and therefore she thought of the Lord as Yajña-pati. She was completely satisfied to see the master and Lord of the entire universe come before her to fulfill her desire.
