Translation

ഊർവൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ഭൃഗുക്കളുടെ ഭാര്യമാർക്ക് ഒരു രക്ഷകനും ലഭിക്കാതിരുന്നപ്പോൾ, എന്റെ ശുഭമയിയായ മാതാവ് എന്നെ തന്റെ ഒരു തുടയിൽ ഒളിപ്പിച്ചു. തുടർന്ന്, മറ്റുള്ളവർക്ക് ആ സത്രയാഗം സമാപിപ്പിക്കുക അത്യന്തം ദുഷ്കരമാണെന്ന് അറിഞ്ഞ ഉദാരബുദ്ധിയായ മഹർഷി അത്രി, ആ സത്രം അവസാനിപ്പിക്കുവാൻ ആഗ്രഹിച്ച് അവിടെ എത്തി.
