They deposited those [sorrows] in an impotent man, a gambler, and a harlot. / Therefore these, pierced by sorrow, grieve. / Such are not born to him who knows this. / Therefore one should not associate with them, lest I should partake of sorrow. / Kaṇva Nārṣada took as wife the daughter of the Asura Akhaga. / Upon her two sons, Triśoka and Nabhāka, were born to him. / She, having become angry, went to her relatives. / He followed after her. / The Asuras, smearing him with filth, said to him: 'Disclose the daybreak here, if you are a Brahmin!' / The two Aśvins perceived that. / Now the two Aśvins are the deliverers of the bound among the gods. / They, remaining invisible, approached him and said: 'When we two fly past above, striking the lute, then know that daybreak has come.' / These [Asuras] during the night used to fly up [shouting]: 'Arise! Daybreak has arrived! Yoke the plows!' / 'It has not yet dawned,' he used to say. / Then the two flew past above, striking the lute. / He said: 'Take this away! Now daybreak has arrived! Yoke the plows!'
