Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Create the offspring who will be obedient to me and have devotion for me as in the previous day, by your body composed of all the Vedas, whose source is me. You prayed that you should not forget the Vedas. Your body will be filled with the Vedas. You will not forget the Vedas. Now (idam) you (ātmā) should create the progeny by your body (ātmanā) whose source is I (ātma-yoninā), as you did in the previous day. Create the progeny who are obedient to me and have bhakti. The word ca indicates bhakti. This means that creating would be easy, since it would involve simply manifesting the various bodies.
