6.8.18

vyāsa uvāca |
te gatvāṅgirasaḥ putraṃ procuḥ prāñjalayaḥ surāḥ |
jānīmaḥ śaraṇaṃ prāptāmindrāṇīṃ tava veśmani ||

Vyâsa said:-- O King! The Devas, going to the house of Brihaspati, spoke thus with folded hands:-- O Guru! We know that Indrânî has taken shelter in your house; we will have to hand her over today to the king Nahusa for we all united have made over the post of Indra to Nahusa. Let this beautiful Lady now choose and worship him. Hearing these awful words of the Devas, Brihaspati said to them:-- “O Devas! This chaste woman, devoted to her husband, has now taken my shelter; therefore I can never part with her.” The Devas said:-- “O Guru! Kindly advise then - if you do not part with S'achî Devî - how the king Nahusa be pleased; if he becomes angry, it will then be very difficult to please him.”
