वर्द्धमानो ऽतिमात्रं वै देवा निस्तेजसो ऽभवन। सर्वतो निर्मितं ज्ञात्वा गर्भं ते त्दृततेजसः।।
varddhamāno 'timātraṃ vai devā nistejaso 'bhavan| sarvato nirmitaṃ jñātvā garbhaṃ te tdṛtatejasaḥ||
Sūta said:: It increased excessively. The Devas became devoid of splendour on coining to know that the foetus had been evolved wholly out of their own brilliance which had been taken away. They became afraid and said to Prajāpati—“How shall this be to us, (What will become of us)? O lord, the strength and brilliance of this (foetus) evolved by you is excessive. How can we exist? O perpetual one surely we shall be finished. There is no doubt that all living beings here, both mobile and immobile will become burnt before long. O excellent Brāhmaṇa, consider over this (point), withdraw the strength and splendour deposited within the egg so that it will be conducive to our welfare. The renown and potentiality of the splendour burns all round rapidly.
