The sages and the gods asked her, but she said nothing at all, being ashamed. ¹²The boy spoke to his mother, angry at her false shame: Why do you not speak, you who acted badly? Tell me your own fault, and quickly. ¹³Brahma called her aside and comforted her and questioned her; and quietly she said, Soma's. And Soma took the boy then.

¹⁴The self-born one gave him the name Budha, king, for his deep understanding; and the lord of the stars had joy of that son.
