इन्द्रं तुष्टाव चेन्द्राणी विश्रुतैः पूर्वकर्मभिः । स्तूयमानस्ततो देवः शचीमाह पुरंदरः॥५-१४-११॥

english translation

किमर्थमसि संप्राप्ता विज्ञातश्च कथं त्वहम् । ततः सा कथयामास नहुषस्य विचेष्टितम्॥५-१४-१२॥

“For what purpose have you come, and how have I been identified (here)?” Then she related the conduct of Nahuṣa.

english translation

इन्द्रत्वं त्रिषु लोकेषु प्राप्य वीर्यमदान्वितः । दर्पाविष्टश्च दुष्टात्मा मामुवाच शतक्रतो । उपतिष्ठ मामिति क्रूरः कालं च कृतवान्मम॥५-१४-१३॥

Having attained Indra’s sovereignty over the three worlds, he grew intoxicated with power. Seized by arrogance, that ill-disposed one said to me, “Attend upon me.” The cruel man even imposed a fixed time-limit upon me.

english translation

यदि न त्रास्यसि विभो करिष्यति स मां वशे । एतेन चाहं संतप्ता प्राप्ता शक्र तवान्तिकम् । जहि रौद्रं महाबाहो नहुषं पापनिश्चयम्॥५-१४-१४॥

If you do not protect me, O mighty one, he will bring me under his control. Distressed by this, I have come to you, O Śakra. Restrain that fierce Nahuṣa, O strong-armed one—he is resolved upon wrongdoing.

english translation

प्रकाशयस्व चात्मानं दैत्यदानवसूदन । तेजः समाप्नुहि विभो देवराज्यं प्रशाधि च॥५-१४-१५॥

Reveal yourself, O subduer of the Daityas and Dānavas. Regain your splendor, O mighty one, and administer the sovereignty of the gods.
