अशास्यानपि शास्त्येष रक्षोबन्धुषु राजसु । सृष्टः प्रथमजो दण्डो ब्रह्मणा ब्रह्मवादिना॥५-९६-२१॥
This power of discipline restrains even those deemed ungovernable, among kings allied with rākṣasa-kind. This first-born Daṇḍa—the principle of punishment and governance—was created by Brahmā, the expounder of sacred knowledge.

This royal parasol of kings was described by the great Śakra (Indra). The sons of the Lord of Waters bear it, a token of lofty eminence.

This parasol of the Lord of Waters stands in the parasol-house. From every side it releases cool water, raining like a cloud.

एतच्छत्रात्परिभ्रष्टं सलिलं सोमनिर्मलम् । तमसा मूर्छितं याति येन नार्छति दर्शनम्॥५-९६-२४॥
The water that falls from this parasol—clear as Soma—becomes obscured by darkness, by which sight is not properly obtained.
english translation
बहून्यद्भुतरूपाणि द्रष्टव्यानीह मातले । तव कार्योपरोधस्तु तस्माद्गच्छाव माचिरम्॥५-९६-२५॥
Many wondrous forms are to be seen here, O Mātali; however, your duties would be delayed—therefore let us depart without long delay.
