TRANSLATION

With full, undiverted attention, Aditi thought of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead and in this way brought under full control
her mind and senses, which resembled forceful horses. She con-
centrated her mind upon the Supreme Lord, Vasudeva. Thus she
performed the ritualistic ceremony known as payo-vrata.
