Verse 1

¹So, with her sons brought to nothing and heaven taken by the Daityas, Aditi, the mother of the gods, burned then with grief, like a woman who has no one to protect her. ²One day the revered Kasyapa, risen after a long while out of deep absorption, came to her hermitage, and found it without festival and without joy. ³He took the seat that was offered him, and being honoured as is right, he said this to his wife, whose face was low, bearer of the Kuru line.
