20.40

satyaṃ brūhi sutaḥ kasya somasyātha bṛhaspateḥ
pṛcchyamānā yadā devair nāha sā sādhv asādhu vā
kumāro mātaraṃ prāha kupito 'līkalajjayā |
kiṃ na vocasy asadvṛtte ātmāvadyaṃ vadāśu me |
tadā tāṃ śaptum ārabdhaḥ kumāro dasyuhantamaḥ //

“Speak the truth: whose son is he, Soma’s or Bṛhaspati’s?” / When being questioned by the gods, she said neither good nor bad. / The boy, enraged at her false shame, said to his mother: / “Why do you not speak, O wicked woman? Tell my reproach at once!” / Then the boy, the supreme slayer of enemies, began to curse her.
