Shloka 13
Cyavana’s Birth and Bhṛgu’s Curse upon Agni (च्यवनजन्म तथा अग्निशापः)
साहं तव सुतस्यास्य तेजसा परिमोक्षिता | भस्मीभूतं च तद् रक्षो मामुत्सृज्य पपात वै,आपके इस पुत्रके तेजसे मैं उस राक्षसके चंगुलसे छूट सकी हूँ। राक्षस मुझे छोड़कर गिरा और जलकर भस्म हो गया
sāhaṃ tava sutasyāsya tejasā parimokṣitā | bhasmībhūtaṃ ca tad rakṣo mām utsṛjya papāta vai ||
Sa liwanag at kapangyarihan ng anak mong ito, ako’y napalaya mula sa pagkakahawak ng rākṣasa. Pagkabitiw niya sa akin, bumagsak siya at nasunog hanggang maging abo.
