युवतिजठरखिन्नो जातबोधोऽप्यकाण्डे प्रसवगलितबोध: पीडयोल्लङ्घ्य बाल्यम् ।

पुनरपि बत मुह्यत्येव तारुण्यकाले कपिलतनुरिति त्वं देवहूत्यै न्यगादी: ॥७॥

Verse 7:

யுவதிஜடகர்ஹின்னோ ஜாதபோதோ’ப்யகாண்டே ப்ரஸவகலிதபோத: பீடயொல்லங்க்ய பால்யம் । புனரபி பத முஹ்யத்யேவ தாருண்யகாலே கபிலதனுரிதி த்வம் தேவஹூத்யை ந்யகாதீ: ॥

Repeatedly entering the womb for rebirth, the Jiva though retains the memory of the Supreme Reality, he loses it during the travails of birth. After going through various sufferings of childhood, he enters the stage of youth, when he once again is overcome by the infatuation of sense life. Thus, Thou incarnate as Kapil, instructed Devahooti.
