Indra said: In the womb of this woman is the seed of that great demon. Therefore, let her remain in my prison until her child is delivered. After killing the child, I shall release her.
Let her remain in my prison until she delivers the child. Having gained my goal, I will release her. This means “Having killed the child that is born, I will release her.”

anantānucaro balī
Śrī Nārada said: That great child, sinless and a great devotee, a servant of the unlimited Lord, and full of power, can never be killed by you.

ity uktas tāṁ vihāyendro
devarṣer mānayan vacaḥ
ananta-priya-bhaktyaināṁ

When Nārada had thus spoken, Indra, respecting to his words, immediately released my mother, and after circumambulating her out of respect for the devotee in her womb, returned to heaven.
Circumambulating her because of devotion to me, the devotee of the Lord, he left. He said “I offer respects to the devotee of the Lord situated in her womb.”

Agreeing to his words, my mother stayed in his care without any fear, as long as the king of the demons continued his severe austerities.
