भूमिस्तदक्षिपद्वह्नौ वह्निश्चाद्रौ स भूधरः ॥ गंगायां सोऽक्षिपद्वेगात् तरंगैश्शरकानने ॥ ५१ ॥
The earth dropped it into the fire, the fire on the mountain, the mountain in the Gaṅgā and the Gaṅgā transmitted it to the grove of Sara plants by her following currents and waves.
english translation
तत्र बालोऽभवस्त्वं हि देवकार्यकृति प्रभुः ॥ तत्र लब्धः कृत्तिकाभिस्त्वं भूमिं गच्छ सांप्रतम् ॥ ५२ ॥
There you developed into a boy, the lord with the mission of fulfilling the task of the gods. There you were picked up by the Kṛttikas. Now you shall come down to the Earth.

Śiva will be crowning you in the company of the gods. You will get miraculous weapons and will slay the demon Tāraka.

You are brilliant enough to illuminate the universe. You do not fit in well in this abode just as a majestic elephant fallen in a deep well does not retain splendour.
