1.3.3
te'gnimabruvañjātaveda etadvijānīhi kimidaṃ yakṣamiti tatheti ||

Te, they—those gods who failed to know It, and were desirous of knowing It, but had fear in their hearts; agnim, to Fire, (lit.) who goes ahead (of all); and who is jātavedā, almost omniscient;footnote{Agni precedes all other deities (agre gacchati) in receiving oblations at sacrifices; and Jātavedā is one who knows (veda) all that is created (Jāta).} abruvan, said: O Jātavedā, you being powerful among us vijānīhi, thoroughly find out about; etat, this Yakṣa that is in our view; kim etat yakṣam iti, as to what this Yakṣa (venerable Being) is.

The space, or the part of the space, where that Yakṣa vanished after revealing Itself, and the space where Indra also was at the time of the disappearance of Brahman, tasmin eva ākāśe, in that very space; saḥ, he, Indra, stayed on, deliberating in his mind, \"What is this Yakṣa?\" He did not return like Fire etc. Understanding his devotion to Yakṣa, Knowledge (of Brahman) made Her appearance as a woman, in the form Umā. Saḥ. he, Indra; ājagāma, approached; bahuśobhamānām, superbly charming; tām, Her, Umā; Knowledge being the most fascinating of all fascinating things, the attribute 'superbly charming' is appropriate for it—he approached haimavatīm, one who was as though attired in dress of gold, i.e. exquisitely beautiful. Or Umā Herself is Haimavatī, the daughter of Himavat (Himalayas). Thinking that, since She is ever in association with the omniscient God, She must be able to know, Indra approached Her; (and) tām, to Her, to Umā; uvāca, said, "Tell me, kim etat yakṣam iti, what is this Yakṣa—that showed Itself and vanished?"
