"Therefore, quick, seek the Brahmin

Visvarupa, a man of penance and self-

possession, the son of Tvashta. Honoured

(by you), he will do for you the things

(you want), if only you tolerate his action

(his partiality for the demons). "

So told, the gods approached Visvarupa,

the son of Tvashta, and said this:
 

 
'वृणीमहे त्वोपाध्यायं ब्रह्मिष्ठं ब्राह्मणं गुरुम् ।

यथाऽब्जसा विजेष्यामस्सपत्नांस्तव तेजसा ।'
