पशूनां पतये चैव भूतानां पतये नमः। प्रणने ऋग्यजुःसाम्ने स्वधायै च सुधाय च ।। ३५.

Salutations to the lord of cattle, and to the lord of beings; to the breath, to the Rig, Yajur, and Sama, to the oblation, and to the nectar.

वषट्कारतमायैव तुभ्यमन्तात्मने नमः । स्रष्ट्रे धात्रे तथा होत्रे हर्त्रे च क्षपणाय च ।। ३५.

To the one most characterized by the syllable 'vashat', to you, the inner self, salutations; to the creator, the supporter, the sacrificer, the destroyer, and the remover.

नमःस्तोत्रे मया ह्यस्मिन् सदसद्व्याहृतं विभो। मद्भक्त इति ब्रह्मण्य सर्वन्तत् क्षन्तुमर्हसि ।। ३५.

O Lord, in this hymn of praise by me, whatever has been spoken rightly or wrongly, as your devotee and as one devoted to Brahman, you should forgive all that.

सूत उवाच।। एवमाराध्य देवेशमीशानं नीललोहितम्। ब्रह्मेति प्रणतस्तस्मै प्राञ्जलिर्वाक्यमब्रवीत् ।। ३६.

Sūta said: Thus, having worshipped the Lord of gods, Īśāna, the blue-red one, and bowing to him as Brahman, with joined palms he spoke these words.

काव्यस्य गात्रं संस्पृश्य हस्तेन प्रीतिमान् भवः। निकामं दर्शनं दत्त्वा तत्रैवान्तरधीयत ।। ३६.

Bhava, pleased, touched the body of Kāvyā with his hand, granted her the vision as she desired, and then vanished right there.

ततः सोऽन्तर्हिते तस्मिन् देवेशानुचरे तदा। तिष्ठन्तीं प्राञ्जलिर्भूत्वा जयन्तीमिदमब्रवीत् ।। ३६.

Then, when that Lord of gods had disappeared, his attendant Jayantī, standing with joined palms, spoke these words.

कस्य त्वं सुभगे का वा दुःखिते मयि दुःखिता। महता तपसा युक्तं किमर्थं माञ्जुगोपसि ।। ३६.

Who are you, O fortunate one? Whose are you? Why are you sorrowful when I am in distress? Endowed with great austerity, for what purpose do you protect me?

अनया सततं भक्त्या प्रश्रयेण दमेन च। स्नेहेन चैव सुश्रोणि प्रीतोऽस्मि वरवर्णिनि ।। ३६.

By this constant devotion, humility, self-restraint, and affection, O beautiful-hipped, lovely-complexioned one, I am pleased with you.

किमिच्छसि वरारेहे कस्ते कामः समृध्यताम्। तं ते संपूरयाम्यद्य यद्यपि स्यात् सुदुर्लभम् ।। ३६.

What do you desire, O best of women? What is your wish? Let it be fulfilled. Today I will grant it to you, even if it is very difficult to obtain.

एवमुक्ताऽऽब्रवीदनं तपसा ज्ञातुमर्हसि। चिकीर्षितं मे ब्रह्निष्ठत्वं हि वेत्थ यथातथम् ।। ३६.

Thus addressed, she replied: You should know by your austerity what I intend, for you, established in Brahman, truly know my purpose.

एवमुक्तेऽब्रवीदेनां दृष्ट्वा दिव्येन चक्षुषा। माहेन्द्री त्वं वरारोहे मद्धितार्थमिहागता ।। ३६.

When she had spoken thus, seeing her with divine sight, he said: O best of women, you are the wife of Indra, come here for my benefit.

मया सह त्वं सुश्रोणि दश वर्षाणि भामिनि। अदृश्यं सर्वभूतैस्तु संप्रयोगमिहेच्छसि ।। ३६.

O beautiful-hipped, radiant one, you wish to be united with me here, unseen by all beings, for ten years.

देवेन्द्रानलवर्णाभे वरारोहे सुलोचने। इमं वृणीष्व कामं ते मत्तो वै वल्गुभाषिणि ।। ३६.

O best of women, fair-eyed, resembling the color of Indra's fire, choose this boon from me, O sweet-spoken one.

एवं भवतु गच्छामो गृहान् वै मत्तकाशिनि । ततः स्वगृहमागम्य जयन्त्या सहितः प्रभुः ।। ३६.

"So be it. Let us go to the house, O intoxicated-eyed one." Then, coming to his own house, the Lord was together with Jayantī.

स तया सं व सद्देव्या दश वर्षाणि भागशः। अदृश्यः सर्वभूतानां मायया संवृतस्तदा ।। ३६.

With her, the divine lady, he remained for ten years, unseen by all beings, enveloped by his own illusion.

कृतार्थमागतं दृष्ट्वा काव्यं सर्वे दितेः सुताः । अभिजग्मुर्गृहं तस्य मुदितास्ते दिदृक्षवः ।। ३६.

Seeing Kāvya arrive, having fulfilled his purpose, all the sons of Diti joyfully approached his house, eager to see him.

गता यदा न पश्यन्तो जयन्त्या संवृतं गुरुम्। दाक्षिण्यं तस्य तद्बुध्वा प्रतिजग्मुर्यथागतम् ।। ३६.

When they had gone and could not see their teacher, concealed by Jayantī, realizing his kindness, they returned as they had come.

बृहस्पतिस्तु संरुद्धं ज्ञात्वा काव्यं चकार ह। पित्रर्थे दश वर्षाणि जयन्त्या हितकाम्यया ।। ३६.

Bṛhaspati, knowing that Kāvya was obstructed, acted for the sake of his father, for ten years, desiring Jayantī's welfare.

बुद्ध्वा तदन्तरं सोऽथ दैत्यानामिव चोदितः। काव्यस्य रूपमास्थाय सोऽसुरान्समभाषत ।। ३६.

Understanding the interval, then, prompted as if by the Daityas, he assumed the form of Kāvya and addressed the Asuras.
