TRANSLATION
If one worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the
original person, even once, he receives the benefit of being pro-
moted to the spiritual world and possessing the same bodily
features as Visnu. Diti worshiped Lord Visnu for almost one year,
adhering to a great vow. Because of such strength in spiritual life,
the forty-nine Maruts were born. How, then, is it wonderful that
the Maruts, although born from the womb of Diti, became equal to
the demigods by the mercy of the Supreme Lord?
