Jayā-devāḥ Mantraśarīratvaṃ, Vairāgya, and Brahmā’s Śāpa
The Jayas’ Refusal of Progeny
तस्माद्यूयमिहावृत्तिं सप्तकृत्वो ह्यवाप्स्यथ / ते शप्ता ब्रह्मणा देवा जयास्तं वै प्रसादयन्
tasmādyūyamihāvṛttiṃ saptakṛtvo hyavāpsyatha / te śaptā brahmaṇā devā jayāstaṃ vai prasādayan
Therefore, here you shall undergo the return (āvṛtti) seven times—seven rounds of rebirth. The devas called Jaya, cursed by Brahmā, sought to appease him.
