Devahūti's Lamentation
929
tatra cāste saha strībhir yatrāste sa prajāpatiḥ
yadā—when; sasmāra—she thought of; ṛṣabham—the foremost; ṛṣūnām—among the ṛṣis; dayitam—dear; patim—husband; tatra—there; ca—and; āste—she was present; saha—along with; strībhiḥ—the maidservants; yatra—where; āste—was present; saḥ—he; prajā-patiḥ—the prajāpati (Kardama).
TRANSLATION
When she thought of her great husband, the best of the sages, Kardama Muni, who was very dear to her, she, along with all the maidservants, at once appeared where he was.
PURPORT
It appears from this verse that in the beginning Devahūti thought herself to be dirty and very niggardly dressed. When her husband asked her to enter the lake, she saw the maidservants, and they took care of her. Everything was done within the water, and as soon as she thought of her beloved husband, Kardama, she was brought before him without delay. These are some of the powers attained by perfect  yogīs ; they can immediately execute anything they desire.
