293
satyam—truth; surucyā—by Queen Suruci; abhihitam—narrated; bhavān—unto you; me—of me; yat—because; durbhagāyāḥ—of the unfortunate; udare—in the womb; grhītaḥ—taken birth; stanyena—fed by the breast milk; vṛddhaḥ ca—grown up; vilajjate—becomes ashamed; yām—unto one; bhāryā—wife; iti—thus; vā—or; voḍhum—to accept; iḍas-patiḥ—the King; mām—me.
TRANSLATION
Sunīti said: My dear boy, whatever has been spoken by Suruci is so, because the King, your father, does not consider me his wife or even his maidservant. He feels ashamed to accept me, so it is a fact that you have taken birth in the womb of an unfortunate woman, and by being fed from her breast you have grown up.

TRANSLATION
My dear boy, whatever has been spoken by Suruci, your stepmother, although very harsh to hear, is factual. Therefore, if you desire at all to sit on the same throne as your stepbrother Uttama, then give up your envious attitude and immediately try to execute the instructions of your stepmother. Without further delay, you must engage yourself in worshiping the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
