स्नेहेन चैव सुश्रोणि प्रीतो ऽस्मि वरवर्णिनि
Out of affection, O lovely-hipped one, I am pleased with you, O radiant lady.
तं ते संपूरयाम्यद्य यद्यपि स्यात्सुदुर्लभः
Today I shall fulfill your desire, even if it is very difficult to obtain.
चिकीर्षितं मे ब्रह्मिष्ठ त्वं हि वेत्थ यथातथम्
O best of the Brahmins, you know exactly what I wish to accomplish.
माहेन्द्री त्वं वरारोहे मद्धितार्थमिहागता
You are the consort of Indra, O beautiful one, who has come here for my benefit.
अदृश्यं सर्वभूतैस्तु संप्रयोगमिहेच्छसि
You desire union here, remaining unseen by all beings.
इमं वृणीष्व कामं त्वं मत्तो वै वल्गुभाषिणि
Choose this boon from me, O sweet-spoken one.
ततः स्वगृहमागम्य जयत्या सहितः प्रभुः
Then the lord returned to his own house together with Jayantī.
अदृश्यः सर्वभूतानां मायया संवृतस्तदा
At that time, concealed by illusion, he was invisible to all beings.
अभिजग्सुर्गृहं तस्य मुदितास्तं दिदृक्षवः
Joyful and eager to see him, they came to his house.
लक्षमं तस्य तद् बुद्ध्वा प्रतिजग्मुर्यथागतम्
Recognizing his sign, they departed as they had come.
प्रीत्यर्थे दश वर्षाणि जयन्त्या हितकाम्यया
For the sake of affection, and wishing well for Jayantī, ten years passed.
काव्यस्य रूपमास्थाय सो ऽसुरान्समभाषत
Assuming the form of Kāvyā, he addressed the Asuras.
स्वागतं मम याज्यानां संप्राप्तो ऽस्मि हिताय च
Welcome to my sacrificers; I have come for your welfare.
ततस्ते हृष्टमनसो विद्यार्थमुपपेदिरे
Then, delighted in mind, they approached to learn knowledge.
समयान्ते देवयाजी सद्यो जातमतिस्तदा
At the end of the period, the sacrificer of the gods suddenly became aware.
देवि गच्छाम्यहं द्रष्टुं तव याज्याञ्छुचिस्मिते
O fair-smiling one, I go now to see your sacrificers.
एष ब्रह्मन्सतां धर्मो न धर्मं लोपयामि ते
O Brahman, this is the duty of the virtuous; I do not violate your dharma.
ततो गत्वा सुरान्दृष्ट्वा देवाचार्येण धीमता
Then, having gone and seen the gods, by the wise preceptor of the gods—
काव्यं मामनुजानीध्वमेष ह्याङ्गिरसो मुनिः
Permit me, Kāvyā, for this is the sage Āṅgirasa.
श्रुत्वा तथा ब्रुवाणं तं संभ्रान्ता दितिजास्ततः
Hearing him speak thus, the Daityas became agitated.
संप्रमूढाः स्थिताः सर्वे प्रापद्यन्त न किञ्चन
All stood bewildered and could not do anything.
आचार्यो यो ह्ययं काव्यो देवायार्यो ऽयमङ्गिराः
This Kāvyā is the ācārya of the gods, and this Āṅgirasa is the ācārya of the devas.
एवमुक्ते तु ते सर्वे तावुभौ समवेक्ष्य च
When this was spoken, all of them looked upon those two.
बृहस्पतिरुवाचैनामं भ्रातो ऽयमङ्गिराः
Bṛhaspati spoke, saying: 'This is my brother, Aṅgirā.'
संमोहयति रूपेण मामकेनैष वो ऽसुराः
He confuses me by his own form; this one deceives you, Asuras.
अयं नो दशवर्षाणि सततं शास्ति वै प्रभुः
This lord has ruled over us constantly for ten years.
ततस्तेदानवाः सर्वे प्रणिपत्याभिवाद्य च
Then all the Dānavas, having bowed and offered salutations,
ऊचुस्तमसुराः सर्वे क्रुद्धाः संरक्तलोचनाः
All the Asuras, angry with bloodshot eyes, spoke thus:
भार्गवो ऽगिरसो वायं भवत्वेषैव नो गुरुः
Let this Bhārgava or Aṅgiras be our guru.
एवमुक्त्वा सुराः सर्वे प्रापद्यन्त बृहस्पतिम्
Having spoken thus, all the gods approached Bṛhaspati.
