The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
अधिकं शुशुभे देवी दक्षस्य तनया तदा । सिद्धाश्च ऋषयः सर्वे देवाश्चापि महौजसः
adhikaṃ śuśubhe devī dakṣasya tanayā tadā | siddhāśca ṛṣayaḥ sarve devāścāpi mahaujasaḥ
তখন দেবী—দক্ষের কন্যা—আরও অধিক দীপ্তিতে শোভিত হলেন; এবং সকল সিদ্ধ, সকল ঋষি ও মহাতেজস্বী দেবগণও সেখানে উপস্থিত ছিলেন।
