नमस्कृतः सर्वभूतैः सर्वभूतानि सान्त्वयन् । हतशत्रुः प्रहृष्टात्मा वासवः सह दैवतैः । विष्णुं त्रिभुवनश्रेष्ठं पूजयामास धर्मवित्॥ ५-१०-४१॥
Having been saluted by all beings, and consoling all beings, Vāsava—his adversary overcome and his mind uplifted—together with the deities, worshipped Viṣṇu, the foremost in the three worlds, as one who understood dharma.
english translation
ततो हते महावीर्ये वृत्रे देवभयंकरे । अनृतेनाभिभूतोऽभूच्छक्रः परमदुर्मनाः । त्रैशीर्षयाभिभूतश्च स पूर्वं ब्रह्महत्यया॥ ५-१०-४२॥
Then, after the mighty Vṛtra—who had been a source of fear to the gods—was overcome, Śakra became oppressed by untruth and fell into deep dejection; earlier too he had been burdened by the fault of brahmahatyā in relation to Triśīrṣa.
english translation
सोऽन्तमाश्रित्य लोकानां नष्टसंज्ञो विचेतनः । न प्राज्ञायत देवेन्द्रस्त्वभिभूतः स्वकल्मषैः । प्रतिच्छन्नो वसत्यप्सु चेष्टमान इवोरगः॥ ५-१०-४३॥
Taking refuge at the edge of the worlds, senseless and without awareness, the lord of the gods could not be recognized, being overwhelmed by his own impurities; concealed, he dwelt in the waters, moving as if like a serpent.
english translation
ततः प्रनष्टे देवेन्द्रे ब्रह्महत्याभयार्दिते । भूमिः प्रध्वस्तसंकाशा निर्वृक्षा शुष्ककानना । विच्छिन्नस्रोतसो नद्यः सरांस्यनुदकानि च॥ ५-१०-४४॥
Then, when Devendra had vanished, distressed by fear of brahmahatyā, the earth appeared devastated—treeless, with forests dried up; rivers had their currents cut off, and lakes too became without water.
english translation
संक्षोभश्चापि सत्त्वानामनावृष्टिकृतोऽभवत् । देवाश्चापि भृशं त्रस्तास्तथा सर्वे महर्षयः॥ ५-१०-४५ ॥
And there arose agitation among living beings, caused by the lack of rain. The gods too were greatly alarmed, as were all the great Ṛṣis.
