Translation

Thereafter, having heard with great eagerness and in all detail from her son, Kapiladeva, the eternally smiling Personality of Godhead, Devahūti began to meditate constantly upon the Viṣṇu form of the Supreme Lord.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

She meditated on the form of the Supreme Lord, the worthy object of meditation, with smiling face, whom her son had described, thinking of his whole form and its parts. Grieving in separation, my mind cannot give up seeing the Lord as my son. Going to a solitary place for a moment, concentrating my mind, giving up the idea of my son, I will practice meditation as Kapila taught me. The verse describes that practice. She meditated on the form of the Supreme Lord. The sentence continues till verse 26.
