mainaṃ śuco mā ruda devayāni na tvādṛśī martyamanu praśocet
yasyāstava brahma ca brāhmaṇāśca sendrāśca devā vasavo 'śvinau ca //
Śukra said:—“Devayânî, that son of Bṛihaspati was restored to life after being murdered, what can I do when he has been killed again. You should not lament. It does not behove persons like you to mourn in this world. You, who through my power of asceticism are being courted by Brahmâ, Aśvanikumârs, Indra and other Gods, and Asuras, aye, every one in the universe, should by no means mourn like this. The Brâhmaṇa who has been killed again after being restored to life once is beyond my power to be recalled to life again.”—42-44.
