यदेकः समरे सर्वानवधीन्नो गुरोः सुतः ॥ १०.१७.५ ॥
What deed did he perform, and with what fitting resolve, O bull among men, that the teacher's son alone in battle slew all of us?
10.17.6
नूनं स देवदेवानामीश्वरेश्वरमव्ययम् ।
जगाम शरणं द्रौणिरेकस्तेनावधीद्बहून् ॥ १०.१७.६ ॥
Surely he sought refuge in the imperishable Lord, the god of gods, the lord of lords; and by that refuge alone he slew many.

हरिकेशस्तथेत्युक्वा दीर्घदर्शी तदा प्रभुः ।
दीर्घकालं तपस्तेपे मग्नोऽम्भसि महातपाः ॥ १०.१७.११ ॥
Saying, "So be it," the far-seeing lord Harikeśa then performed austerity for a long time; the great ascetic remained immersed in the water.

स्रष्टारं सर्वभूतानां ससर्ज मनसाऽपरम् ॥ १०.१७.१२ ॥

किमर्थं चेदमुत्पाद्य लिङ्गं भूमौ प्रवेशितम् ॥ १०.१७.२३ ॥
O Śarva, what have you done, having stayed so long in the water? And why, having produced this phallus, have you placed it into the earth?
10.17.24
सोऽब्रवीज्जातसंरम्भस्तथा लोकगुरुर्गुरुम् ।
प्रजाः सृष्टाः परेणेमाः किं करिष्याम्यनेन वै ॥ १०.१७.२४ ॥
Then that teacher of the worlds, agitated with anger, said to the teacher: "These creatures have been created by another; what shall I do with this phallus?"
10.17.25
प्रजाः सृष्टाः परेणेमाः प्रजार्थं मे पितामह ।
ओषध्यः परिवर्तेरन्यथैवं सततं प्रजाः ॥ १०.१७.२५ ॥
These creatures were created by the Supreme. O grandfather, for the sake of my creatures the herbs would be changed otherwise; and so creatures would be constantly changing.

एवमुक्त्वा स सक्रोधो जगाम विमना भवः ।
गिरेर्मुञ्जवतः पादं तपस्तप्तुं महातपाः ॥ १०.१७.२६ ॥
Having spoken thus, angry and troubled in mind, Bhava went to the foot of Mount Muñjavat, the great ascetic, to perform austerity.
