देवा ऊचु करिष्य इति संभश्रुत्य पूर्वमस्मासु नैषध । न करिष्यसि कस्मात् त्वं त्रज नैषध मा चिरम्,देवताओंने कहा--निषधनरेश! तुम पहले हमलोगोंसे हमारा कार्य सिद्ध करनेके लिये प्रतिज्ञा कर चुके हो, फिर तुम उस प्रतिज्ञाका पालन कैसे नहीं करोगे? इसलिये निषधराज! तुम शीघ्र जाओ; देर न करो
Transliteration
devā ūcuḥ—kariṣya iti saṁbhṛśrutya pūrvam asmāsu naiṣadha | na kariṣyasi kasmāt tvaṁ vraja naiṣadha mā ciram ||
Translation
The gods said: “O king of Niṣadha, you previously gave us your solemn word—‘I will do it’—undertaking to accomplish our purpose. How, then, can you now refuse to carry out that pledge? Therefore, O Naiṣadha, go at once; do not delay.”
