The Vasus said : O lady of three courses (celestial, terrestrial and subterranean), you should throw your children into water just after their birth, so that we may not have to live for long on earth.
वसव ऊचुः जातान् कुमारान् स्वानप्सु प्रक्षेप्तुं वै त्वमर्हसि। यथा न चिरकालं नो निष्कृतिं स्यात् त्रिलोकगे॥
