ययाति–देवयानी संवादः

Yayāti–Devayānī Dialogue and Śukra’s Consent

Devanagari script

नहि वेद सतां विद्यां यां काव्यो वेत्ति वीर्यवान्‌ । संजीविनीं ततो देवा विषादमगमन्‌ परम्‌,क्योंकि शक्तिशाली शुक्राचार्य जिस संजीवनी विद्याको जानते थे, उसका ज्ञान बृहस्पतिको नहीं था। इससे देवताओंको बड़ा विषाद हुआ

Transliteration

nahi veda satāṁ vidyāṁ yāṁ kāvyo vetti vīryavān | saṁjīvinīṁ tato devā viṣādam agaman param ||

Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: “Bṛhaspati did not know that sacred science known among the noble—the mighty Kāvya (Śukrācārya) alone knew it: the Sañjīvinī, the art of restoring life. Therefore the gods were overcome with profound despair.”
