Adhyaya 75 — The Fall and Restoration of Revatī Nakṣatra and the Birth of Raivata Manu
मार्कण्डेय उवाच तेनैवं व्याहृते शापे रेवत्यृक्षं पपात ह ।
पश्यतः सर्वलोकस्य विस्मयाविष्टचेतसः ॥
mārkaṇḍeya uvāca tenaivaṃ vyāhṛte śāpe revatyṛkṣaṃ papāta ha / paśyataḥ sarvalokasya vismayāviṣṭacetasaḥ
Sinabi ni Mārkaṇḍeya: “Nang mabigkas nang gayon ang sumpa, ang oso na si Revatī (si Revatī bilang isang ṛkṣa) ay nahulog, habang ang lahat ng tao’y nakatanaw, at ang kanilang isipan ay sinaklot ng pagkamangha.”
