The Child Is Born After Śivānanda Returns
“The son was in the womb of Śivānanda’s wife, and when Śivānanda returned home the son was born.”
What the purport teaches
- The son was still in the womb of Śivānanda’s wife when the Lord gave the naming instruction.
- Śivānanda then returned home.
- The son was born when Śivānanda returned, placing the Lord’s instruction before the child’s birth.
