262 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 18
some fault in you. When I found such a fault, I entered your womb
and cut the embryo to pieces.
PURPORT
When Diti, Indra’s aunt, explained to Indra without reservations what
she had wanted to do, Indra explained his intentions to her. Thus both of
them, instead of being enemies, freely spoke the truth. This is the
qualification that results from contact with Visnu. As stated in Srimad-
Bhagavatam (5.18.12):
yasyasti bhaktir bhagavaty akificana
sarvair gunais tatra samdsate surah
If one develops a devotional attitude and becomes purified by worshiping
the Supreme Lord, all the good qualities are certainly manifested in his
body. Because of being touched by worship of Visnu, both Diti and Indra
were purified.
