बृहस्पतिर् हरिं प्राह ब्रह्माणं पृच्छ गच्छ तम् स तु जानाति यद् भूतं भविष्यच् चापि वर्तनम्
Brihaspati said to Hari: 'Go, ask Brahma. He knows what has been, what will be, and what is happening now.'
स तु वक्ष्यति येनेदं जातं तच् च महामते ताव् आगत्य महाप्राज्ञौ नमस्कृत्य ममान्तिकम् कृताञ्जलिपुटो भूत्वा माम् ऊचतुर् इदं वचः
He will speak, O wise one, by whom this has come to be; then, having arrived, those two great sages, after bowing to me with joined palms, spoke these words to me.
भगवन् केन दोषेण शचीभर्ता उदारधीः राज्यात् प्रभ्रश्यते नाथ संशयं छेत्तुम् अर्हसि
O Lord, by what fault does Indra, the noble-minded husband of Śacī, fall from his kingdom? Master, you should dispel our doubt.

Through faults of place, time, and others, by error in faith or mantra, by improper giving of gifts, or by offering impure substances—
देवभूदेवतावज्ञापातकाच् च विशेषतः यत् खण्डत्वं स्वधर्मस्य देहिनाम् उपजायते
Especially by the sin of disrespecting gods, ancestors, and deities, this incompleteness of one's own duty arises among embodied beings.
तेनातिमानसस् तापः पदहानिश् च दुस्त्यजा कृतो ऽपि धर्मो ऽनिष्टाय जायते क्षुब्धचेतसा
Because of this, excessive pride, suffering, and loss of position are hard to abandon; even if duty is performed, it leads to misfortune for one whose mind is disturbed.
