Boon, Sacred Ford, and the Birth Narrative
नाम कृत्वा ततो देवा जग्मुः सर्वे महौजसः । गतेषु तेषु देवेषु सोमशर्मासु तस्य च
nāma kṛtvā tato devā jagmuḥ sarve mahaujasaḥ | gateṣu teṣu deveṣu somaśarmāsu tasya ca
Depois de conceder o nome, todos aqueles deuses de grande vigor partiram. Tendo eles ido, Somaśarmā também seguiu adiante, e do mesmo modo o seu companheiro.

Visual Art Cues: {"scene_description":"The celestial assembly recedes into the sky, their halos shrinking into the cloudline like lamps being carried away.
