रेमे सभार्यः शर्यातिः कृत्स्नां प्राप्य महीमिव ॥ ३.१२५.२ ॥
Seeing Cyavana and Sukanyā like two sons of the gods, Śaryāti rejoiced with his wife, as if he had obtained the whole earth.

Honoured by that sage, the lord of the earth sat down near him with his wife and began delightful and auspicious conversations.

There, O king, the Bhārgava Cyavana had him perform the sacrifice. Hear from me the wonders that occurred there.

तमिन्द्रो वारयामास गृह्णानं स तयोर्ग्रहम् ॥ ३.१२५.८ ॥
Then Cyavana took the soma-portion of the two gods, the Aśvins. Indra forbade him as he was taking their share of the soma.

उभावेतौ न सोमार्हौ नासत्याविति मे मतिः ।
भिषजौ दिवि देवानां कर्मणा तेन नार्हतः ॥ ३.१२५.९ ॥
In my view these two, the Nāsatya Aśvins, are not worthy of soma; being physicians of the gods in heaven, by that very function they are not worthy.

अश्विनावपि देवेन्द्र देवौ विद्धि पुरंदर ॥ ३.१२५.११ ॥
Except for you and the other gods, how could the Aśvins not deserve the soma-pressing? O lord of gods, O Purandara, know that the Aśvins too are gods.

चिकित्सकौ कर्मकरौ कामरूपसमन्वितौ ।
लोके चरन्तौ मर्त्यानां कथं सोममिहार्हतः ॥ ३.१२५.१२ ॥
They are physicians and servants, endowed with the power to take any form, wandering the world among mortals. How then could they deserve soma here?
3.125.13
एतदेव तदा वाक्यमाम्रेडयति वासवे ।
अनादृत्यततः शक्रं ग्रहं जग्राह भार्गवः ॥ ३.१२५.१३ ॥
Repeating these very words to Vāsava in mockery, and disregarding Śakra, the descendant of Bhṛgu then seized the cup.

समीक्ष्य बलभिद्देव इदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥ ३.१२५.१४ ॥
When he was about to take the excellent soma of the Aśvins, Indra, destroyer of Vala, saw him and spoke these words.
3.125.15
आभ्यामर्ताय सोमं त्वं ग्रहीष्यसि यदि स्वयम् ।
वज्रं ते प्रहरिष्यामि घोररूपमनुत्तमम् ॥ ३.१२५.१५ ॥
If you yourself take the soma for these two, I shall strike you with my thunderbolt, terrible in form and unsurpassed.

3.125.18
तं स्तम्भयित्वा च्यवनो जुहुवे मन्त्रतोऽनलम् ।
कृत्यार्थी सुमहातेजा देवं हिंसितुमुद्यतः ॥ ३.१२५.१८ ॥
Having paralysed him, Cyavana offered into the fire with mantras; the mighty-splendoured one, desiring a sacrificial rite of destruction, was resolved to harm the god.
3.125.19
ततः कृत्याऽथ संजज्ञे मुनेस्तस्य तपोबलात् ।
मदो नाम महावीर्यो बृहत्कायो महासुरः ॥ ३.१२५.१९ ॥

तस्यास्यमभवद्धोरं तीक्ष्णाग्रदशनं महत् ॥ ३.१२५.२० ॥

इतरे तस्य दशना बभूवुर्दशयोजनाः ।
प्रासादशिखराकाराः शूलाग्रसमदर्शनाः ॥ ३.१२५.२२ ॥
His other teeth were each ten yojanas long, shaped like palace spires and looking like the tips of spears.

नेत्रे रविशशिप्रख्ये वक्रं कालाग्निसंनिभम् ॥ ३.१२५.२३ ॥
His two arms were long and even, like iron clubs, as if ten thousand yojanas; his eyes were like the sun and moon, and his face like the fire of destruction.

लेलिहञ्जिह्वया वक्रं विद्युच्चपललोलया ।
व्यात्ताननो घोरदृष्टिर्ग्रसन्निव जगद्बलात् ॥ ३.१२५.२४ ॥
Licking his face with a tongue quick and flickering as lightning, mouth wide open and with terrible eyes, he seemed as if forcibly swallowing the whole world.

स भक्षयिष्यन्संक्रुद्धः शतक्रतुमुपाद्रवत् ।
महता घोररूपेण लोकाञ्शब्देन नादयत् ॥ ३.१२५.२५ ॥
Enraged and intending to devour, he rushed at Śatakratu (Indra). With his great and terrible form and roar, he made the worlds resound.
