aibyā garbham adhāt kāle
śaibyā garbham adhāt kāle
kumāraṁ suṣuve śubham
sa vidarbha iti prokta
upayeme snuṣāṁ satīm
The Viśvadevas and Pitṛs made his words come true. Śaibyā became pregnant and in due time gave birth to a good son named Vidarbha. He later married the girl brought by Jyāmagha as a daughter-in-law.
Seeing the risk of life for the King whose limbs were perspiring and quivering in fear of his wife, the Viśvadevas and Pitṛs, out of compassion for him, made his words come true. It is understood that he had previously worshipped them with devotion. Though Śaibyā was infertile, by their mercy she became pregnant. Parāśara and others say, “Among all those who have died and those who will be born, the husband of Śaibyā, Jyāmagha, king of the earth, is the best.”
Thus ends the commentary on the Twenty-third Chapter of the Ninth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
