एवं पितामहात्तस्माद्वरं प्राप्य स दर्पित:।।1.16.6।।उत्सादयति लोकान्त्रीन् स्त्रियश्चाप्यपकर्षति ।तस्मात्तस्य वधो दृष्टो मानुषेभ्य: परन्तप।।1.16.7।।

Transliteration

evaṁ pitāmahāt tasmād varaṁ prāpya sa darpitaḥ | utsādayati lokāṁs trīn striyaś cāpy apakarṣati | tasmāt tasya vadho dṛṣṭo mānuṣebhyaḥ parantapa ||

Translation

ಹೀಗೆ ಪಿತಾಮಹ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನಿಂದ ಆ ವರವನ್ನು ಪಡೆದು ಅವನು ದರ್ಪಿತನಾದನು; ಮೂರು ಲೋಕಗಳನ್ನು ಧ್ವಂಸಮಾಡಿ, ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯರನ್ನೂ ಬಲಾತ್ಕಾರವಾಗಿ ಅಪಹರಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು. ಆದಕಾರಣ, ಹೇ ಪರಂತಪ, ಅವನ ವಧವು ಮಾನವರ ಕೈಯಿಂದಲೇ ಸಂಭವಿಸುವುದು ನಿಶ್ಚಿತವೆಂದು ಕಾಣುತ್ತದೆ.
