ऊचुः प्रजापतिं भीता कथं नो भविता त्विदम। बलं तेजो ऽस्य भविता निर्मितस्याधिकं विभो।।
ūcuḥ prajāpatiṃ bhītā kathaṃ no bhavitā tvidam| balaṃ tejo 'sya bhavitā nirmitasyādhikaṃ vibho||
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.
