देवा एतस्यामवदन्त पूर्वे सप्तऋषयस्तपसे ये निषेदुः । भीमा जाया ब्राह्मणस्योपनीता दुर्धां दधाति परमे व्योमन् ॥

devā́ etasyā́m avadanta pū́rve saptaṛ́ṣayas tápase yé niṣedúḥ | bhīmā́ jāyā́ brāhmaṇásyópanītā durdhā́ṁ dadhāti paramé vyòman ||

Para dewa terdahulu membicarakannya, dan tujuh Ṛṣi yang duduk dalam bara tapas. Dahsyat kuasanya isteri Brahman apabila ia dibawa dengan benar (ke dalam dharma suci); ia meletakkan akibat yang sukar ditanggung di ruang tertinggi kesedaran.
