The Gods demanded the vāśā, at the first, when she was brought to birth: this very (ordinance) let Nārada know; with the Gods he set her forth on high.
देवों ने वशा की याचना आरम्भ में की, जब वह जन्मी थी; इस ही विधान को नारद ने जाना—और देवों के साथ उसने उसे ऊँचा प्रतिष्ठित किया।
Rishi: Nārada (named within; treated as seer/authority figure).
