Jayā-devāḥ Mantraśarīratvaṃ, Vairāgya, and Brahmā’s Śāpa
The Jayas’ Refusal of Progeny
वैवस्वतान्तेषु सुरास्तथा स्वायंभुवादिषु / एवं च ब्रह्मणा तत्र श्लोको गीतः पुरातनः
vaivasvatānteṣu surāstathā svāyaṃbhuvādiṣu / evaṃ ca brahmaṇā tatra śloko gītaḥ purātanaḥ
At the close of the Vaivasvata Manvantara, and likewise in the Svāyambhuva and other Manvantaras, the Devas shall be the same; thus did Brahmā there sing this ancient verse.
