PURPORT

When a disciple is perfectly in consonance with the spiritual master,
having received his message and executed it perfectly and sincerely, he has
a right to ask a particular favor from the spiritual master. Generally a pure
devotee of the Lord or a pure disciple of a bona fide spiritual master does
not ask any favor either from the Lord or the spiritual master, but even if
there is a need to ask a favor from the spiritual master, one cannot ask that
favor without satisfying him fully. Svayambhuva Manu wanted to disclose
his mind regarding the function he wanted to execute due to affection for
his daughter.
