Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: When Aditi's sons, the devatās, had thus disappeared from Svarga which was taken by the demons, Aditi began lamenting, as if she had no protector. In the Sixteenth Chapter Aditi reveals her grief for her sons to Kaśyapa and he teaches her the payovrata to pacify her. Naṣṭeṣu means “disappeared.”
