तेजोहरं दृष्टिविषं सुघोरं मा त्वं पश्येर्नहुषं वै कदाचित् । देवाश्च सर्वे नहुषं भयार्ता न पश्यन्तो गूढरूपाश्चरन्ति॥५-१६- २६॥
Never look upon Nahuṣa—terrifying, a thief of radiance, whose gaze is like poison. All the gods, distressed by fear of Nahuṣa, move about in concealed forms, avoiding his sight.
english translation
शल्य उवाच । एवं वदत्यङ्गिरसां वरिष्ठे बृहस्पतौ लोकपालः कुबेरः । वैवस्वतश्चैव यमः पुराणो देवश्च सोमो वरुणश्चाजगाम॥५-१६- २७॥
Śalya said: As Bṛhaspati, foremost among the descendants of Aṅgiras, was speaking thus, the world-guardian Kubera arrived—along with Vaivasvata Yama the ancient, and also the god Soma and Varuṇa.
english translation
ते वै समागम्य महेन्द्रमूचुर्दिष्ट्या त्वाष्ट्रो निहतश्चैव वृत्रः । दिष्ट्या च त्वां कुशलिनमक्षतं च पश्यामो वै निहतारिं च शक्र॥५-१६- २८॥
Having assembled, they said to Mahendra: “Fortune attends you—Vṛtra, the son of Tvaṣṭṛ, has been neutralized. Fortune attends you as well: we see you safe and unharmed, O Śakra, with your adversary overcome.”
english translation
स तान्यथावत्प्रतिभाष्य शक्रः संचोदयन्नहुषस्यान्तरेण । राजा देवानां नहुषो घोररूपस्तत्र साह्यं दीयतां मे भवद्भिः॥५-१६- २९॥
Śakra replied to them appropriately and, urging action in view of Nahuṣa’s situation, said: “Nahuṣa, of formidable appearance, has become king of the gods. In this matter, assistance should be given to me by you.”
english translation
ते चाब्रुवन्नहुषो घोररूपो दृष्टीविषस्तस्य बिभीम देव । त्वं चेद्राजन्नहुषं पराजयेस्तद्वै वयं भागमर्हाम शक्र॥५-१६- ३०॥
They said: “Nahuṣa is of formidable appearance; his gaze is like poison—we fear him, O god. If you, O king, were to defeat Nahuṣa, then indeed we would be entitled to our respective shares, O Śakra.”
