तदैव ते परं ज्ञानं ददामि गृहमागतः ।
ज्ञात्वान्याभिनिवेशं ते पुत्रमेव ददाम्यहम् ॥ २० ॥
tada-then; eva-indeed; te-unto you; param-transcendental; jnanam-knowledge; dadami-I would have delivered; grham-to your home; agatah-came; jnatva-knowing; anya-abhinivesam-absorption in something else (in material things); te-your; putram-a son; eva-only; dadami-gave; aham-I.
When I first came to your home, I could have given you the supreme transcendental knowledge, but when I saw that your mind was absorbed in material things, I gave you only a son, who caused you jubilation and lamentation.
