Jayā-devāḥ Mantraśarīratvaṃ, Vairāgya, and Brahmā’s Śāpa
The Jayas’ Refusal of Progeny
जुगुप्समानाः स्वं जन्म संततिं नाभ्यनन्दत / कर्मणां न कृतो ऽभ्यासो ह्यमृतत्वाभिकाङ्क्षया
jugupsamānāḥ svaṃ janma saṃtatiṃ nābhyanandata / karmaṇāṃ na kṛto 'bhyāso hyamṛtatvābhikāṅkṣayā
Loathing their own birth and lineage, they took no joy in it. And though they yearned for immortality, they did not cultivate the practice of sacred action (karma).
