O King Parīkṣit! Questioned by the knowledgeable sage in this way, King Citraketu, desiring a son, bent low in great humility and spoke to the great sage as follows.
Vikalpitaḥ means “being made the subject in various ways.” Though the sage knew the cause, he wanted to hear of the King’s grief from his own mouth.
|| 6.14.23 ||

bhagavan kiṁ na viditaṁ
tapo-jñāna-samādhibhiḥ
yogināṁ dhvasta-pāpānāṁ
bahir antaḥ śarīriṣu
King Citraketu said: What is not known in all embodied beings externally and internally by yogīs who have destroyed all sins by austerity, knowledge and samādhi?
Śarīriṣu means “persons like me.”
|| 6.14.24 ||
tathāpi pṛcchato brūyāṁ
brahmann ātmani cintitam
bhavato viduṣaś cāpi
coditas tvad-anujñayā
O great brāhmaṇa! Inspired by your order, let me explain the worry in my mind to you who know everything but are asking me.
I will obey the order of you who are asking. I will explain the worry in my mind (ātmani).
|| 6.14.25 ||
loka-pālair api prārthyāḥ
sāmrājyaiśvarya-sampadaḥ
na nandayanty aprajaṁ māṁ
kṣut-tṛṭ-kāmam ivāpare
Just as a person aggrieved by hunger and thirst is not pleased by the external gratification of flower garlands or sandalwood pulp, I am not pleased with my empire, opulence or possessions, which are desirable even for great devatās, because I have no son.
Other things like garlands or sandalwood do not please a person who desires food and water because of hunger and thirst.
|| 6.14.26 ||
tataḥ pāhi mahā-bhāga
pūrvaiḥ saha gataṁ tamaḥ
yathā tarema duṣpāraṁ
prajayā tad vidhehi naḥ
O great sage! Therefore, please save me and my forefathers, who are descending to the darkness of hell. Kindly do something so that I may have a son to deliver us from hellish conditions.
I have attained hell along with my ancestors. Do something so that I can surpass hell by having a son.
