Having heard the words of the celestials, the son of Mitra and Varuna said, “Why have you come? What boon do you solicit from me?” Having been thus addressed, the celestials said to the Rishi.
त्रिदशानां वचः श्रुत्वा मैत्रावरुणिरब्रवीत्। किमर्थमभियाताः स्थ वरं मत्तः कमिच्छथा एवमुक्तास्ततस्तेन देवता मुनिमब्रुवन्॥
