Shloka 19

Devanagari script

एते हि विबुधा: सर्वे पुरन्दरमुखा दिवि,भामिनि! ये इन्द्र आदि समस्त देवता आकाशमें खड़े होकर मुसकराते हुए-से मेरी ओर इस भावसे देख रहे हैं कि मैं तुम्हारे द्वारा कैसा ठगा गया? देखो न, इन देवताओंकी ओर। मैंने तुम्हें पहलेसे ही दिव्य दृष्टि दे दी है, जिससे तुम मुझे देख सकती हो

Translation

Sūrya said: “All the gods in heaven—led by Indra, the breaker of fortresses—stand in the sky, as though smiling, and look upon me as if to say, ‘How has he been deceived by her?’ Look upon these hosts of gods. I had already granted you divine sight, so that you might be able to see me.”
