तच्छ्रुत्वा दुर्मना देवी बृहस्पतिमुवाच ह । रक्ष मां नहुषाद्ब्रह्मंस्तवास्मि शरणं गता॥ ५-११-१६॥

Hearing that, the goddess, distressed in mind, spoke to Bṛhaspati: “Protect me from Nahuṣa, O Brahman; I have come to you for refuge.”

english translation

सर्वलक्षणसंपन्नां ब्रह्मंस्त्वं मां प्रभाषसे । देवराजस्य दयितामत्यन्तसुखभागिनीम्॥ ५-११-१७॥

O Brahman, you address me as one endowed with every auspicious mark—beloved of the king of the gods, and a sharer in the highest well-being.

english translation

अवैधव्येन संयुक्तामेकपत्नीं पतिव्रताम् । उक्तवानसि मां पूर्वमृतां तां कुरु वै गिरम्॥ ५-११-१८॥

Earlier you spoke of me as joined with “non-widowhood”—a wife of one husband, devoted to her spouse. Make that statement true; do not let it become void.

english translation

नोक्तपूर्वं च भगवन्मृषा ते किंचिदीश्वर । तस्मादेतद्भवेत्सत्यं त्वयोक्तं द्विजसत्तम॥ ५-११-१९॥

And never before, O Blessed Lord, have you spoken anything untrue, O master. Therefore let this, spoken by you, become true—O best of the twice-born.

english translation

बृहस्पतिरथोवाच इन्द्राणीं भयमोहिताम् । यदुक्तासि मया देवि सत्यं तद्भविता ध्रुवम्॥ ५-११-२०॥

Bṛhaspati said to Indrāṇī, overcome by fear: “What I told you, O goddess, will indeed become true; it is certain.”
