ततः प्रज्वाल्य विधिवज्जुहाव परमं हविः । बृहस्पतिर्महातेजा देवराजोपलब्धये॥५-१५-२६॥

Then, having kindled the fire according to rule, the highly radiant Bṛhaspati offered the supreme oblation, for the recovery of the king of the gods.

english translation

तस्माच्च भगवान्देवः स्वयमेव हुताशनः । स्त्रीवेषमद्भुतं कृत्वा सहसान्तरधीयत॥५-१५-२७॥

And from that rite, the divine Hutāśana himself appeared; assuming a wondrous female guise, he suddenly vanished from sight.

english translation

स दिशः प्रदिशश्चैव पर्वतांश्च वनानि च । पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षं च विचीयातिमनोगतिः । निमेषान्तरमात्रेण बृहस्पतिमुपागमत्॥५-१५-२८॥

Moving with mind-like speed, he surveyed the directions and the intermediate quarters, the mountains and forests, the earth and the mid-region; and within the span of a single blink he approached Bṛhaspati.

english translation

अग्निरुवाच । बृहस्पते न पश्यामि देवराजमहं क्वचित् । आपः शेषाः सदा चापः प्रवेष्टुं नोत्सहाम्यहम् । न मे तत्र गतिर्ब्रह्मन्किमन्यत्करवाणि ते॥५-१५-२९॥

Agni said: “O Bṛhaspati, I do not see the king of the gods anywhere. The waters remain, and waters are ever-present; I do not have the resolve to enter them. I have no course there, O Brahman—what else should I do for you?”

english translation

शल्य उवाच । तमब्रवीद्देवगुरुरपो विश महाद्युते॥५-१५-३०॥

Śalya said: Then the preceptor of the gods said to him, “Enter the waters, O greatly radiant one.”
