देवता खलु प्रसन्ना काश्यपे तस्य एष खलु ऋद्धिभावना ।
नैव ताव ज्वलनो ज्वलिष्यति याव नागतो अग्रपारगः ॥ १४ ॥
devatā khalu prasannā kāśyape tasya eṣa khalu ṛddhibhāvanā |
naiva tāva jvalano jvaliṣyati yāva nāgato agrapāragaḥ || 14 ||
[Aniruddha replied] “The devas, you must know, are gracious to Kashyapa, and it is by the force of his magic power that the flames will not burn before he who has pre-eminence comes along.” (14)
