The celestials said: The king of mountains, Vindhya, giving way to anger, is obstructing the path of the sun and the moon and the course of the stars. O best of Brahimanas, O greatly exalted one, except you there is none who can prevent him from doing it.
देवा ऊचुः सूर्याचन्द्रमसोर्मागं नक्षत्राणां गतिं तथा। शैलराजो वृणोत्येष विन्ध्यः क्रोधवशानुगः॥ तं निवारयितुं शक्तो नान्यः कश्चिद् द्विजोत्तम्। ऋते त्वां हि महाभाग तस्मादेनं निवारय॥
