The gods said:
You are not our sons; we indeed are your sons, your offspring,
by whom imperishable knowledge was granted unto us whose awareness was lost. (38)
When they had spoken thus, Brahmā, the grandfather of the worlds, arrived there,
and that one of great renown said this to all those gods: (39)
Brahmā said:
The gods do not speak untruth; truth abides among the gods.
All of them have indeed been called your sons and ancestors; that is not untruth. (40)
