त्वत्कृते च निमिष्यन्ति चक्षूंषि पृथिवीपते । वायुभूतेन चरता विश्रमार्थं मुहुर्मुहुः ॥ 7-57-16 ॥
'And for your sake, O lord of the earth, the eyes of beings shall blink, when you, become as wind, move within them, again and again for the sake of rest.'
english translation
एवमुक्त्वा तु विबुधाः सर्वे जग्मुर्यथागतम् । ऋषयो ऽपि महात्मानो निमेर्देहं समाहरन् ॥ 7-57-17 ॥
Having spoken thus, all the gods departed as they had come; and the great-souled sages too gathered up the body of Nimi.
english translation
अरणिं तत्र निक्षिप्य मथनं चक्रुरोजसा । मन्त्रहोमैर्महात्मानः पुत्रहेतोर्निमेस्तदा ॥ 7-57-18 ॥
Placing the fire-kindling stick there, those great-souled ones then performed the churning with vigor, with sacred chants and oblations, for the sake of a son for Nimi.
english translation
अरण्यां मथ्यामानायां प्रादुर्भूतो महातपाः । मथनान्मिथिरित्याहुर्जननाज्जनको ऽभवत् । यस्माद्विदेहात्सम्भूतो वैदेहस्तु ततः स्मृतः ॥ 7-57-19 ॥
As the kindling-stick was being churned, the one of great austerity came forth; because he arose from the churning (mathana) they called him Mithi, and because he was born (janana) he became Janaka; and because he was produced from a body-less one (Videha), he was thereafter remembered as Vaideha.
english translation
एवं विदेहराजश्च जनकः पूर्वको ऽभवत् । मिथिर्नाम महातेजास्तेनायं मैथिलो ऽभवत् ॥ 7-57-20 ॥
Thus Janaka became the first king of the Videhas; he of great splendor was named Mithi, and by him this lineage became known as Maithila.
