[15] Now, this was the petition: “O gods of the earth! Please pay a little attention! Surely you, having heard of them, are well aware of Rāma and his younger brother, who are endowed with supreme power. And out of regard for tending the cows, the two of them have come right into the presence of people like you. But today, while they moved here and there before the amusement of their prowess in flawless play, the realm of the abode of the illustrious lord of the cowherds, though near and very close, seemed far away to us. And we did not ponder thus with the people of our household. For that very reason, having come without arrangements for food from a home that was like the direct abode of the Lord of Lakṣmī, and having grown hungry in their playful combat, and then treating you respectfully by analogy with their father according to the conduct handed down through family tradition, without considering any hesitation, they asked for food from your sacrifice as if from their father's house.”
