trayāḥ prājāpatyāḥ prajāpatau pitari brahmacaryamūṣurdevā manuṣyā asurā uṣitvā brahmacaryaṃ devā ūcurbravītu no bhavāniti tebhyo haitadakṣaramuvāca da iti vyajñāsiṣṭā

Three classes of Prajāpati's sons lived a life of continence with their father, Prajāpati (Virāj)—the gods, men and Asuras. The gods, on the completion of their term, said, 'Please instruct us.' He told them the syllable 'Da' (and asked), 'Have you understood?' (They) said, 'We have. You tell us: Control yourselves.' (He) said, 'Yes, you have understood.'
