Shloka 3
कुमाराभिषेकप्रश्नः — Inquiry into Kumāra (Skanda) Investiture at Sarasvatī
तृप्ताश्न सुभुशं तेन सुखिता विगतज्वरा: । नृत्यन्तश्न हसन्तश्न॒ यथा स्वर्गजितस्तथा
tṛptāś ca subhuśaṃ tena sukhitā vigatajvarāḥ | nṛtyantaś ca hasantaś ca yathā svargajitas tathā ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：他们饱食无遗，因那席馔而极其满足，遂心情欢畅，诸般烦忧尽皆消散。继而他们在彼处起舞大笑，仿佛已征服天界本身——显露出放纵与傲慢之后那种鲁莽的狂喜。

After being fully fed and relieved of distress, the group described in the passage breaks into dancing and laughter, behaving triumphantly as though they had achieved a supreme victory.
