Jayā-devāḥ Mantraśarīratvaṃ, Vairāgya, and Brahmā’s Śāpa
The Jayas’ Refusal of Progeny
एवं शृणोति यो मर्त्योजयस्तस्य भवेत्सदा / जयानां श्रद्धया युक्तः प्रत्यध्यायं तु गच्छति
evaṃ śṛṇoti yo martyojayastasya bhavetsadā / jayānāṃ śraddhayā yuktaḥ pratyadhyāyaṃ tu gacchati
Whoever, though mortal, listens in this manner—victory is ever his; endowed with faith in the cries of Jaya, he proceeds through each chapter.
