anirvācyaṃ tadā cakrurgaṇāḥ krodhasamanvitāḥ | aṃtarvedyaṃtaragato dakṣo vai mahato bhayāt
Alors les gaṇa, emplis de colère, accomplirent des actes indicibles ; et Dakṣa, saisi d’une grande peur, se glissa dans l’enceinte intérieure du clos de l’autel sacrificiel.

Scene: Wrathful gaṇas commit unspeakable acts across the yajña-ground; Dakṣa, terrified, slips into the inner altar precinct, half-hidden among posts, vessels, and the vedi boundary.
