ऋषीणां गन्धो चिरभावितानां उपवायति एरितो मारुतेन ।
इतो अपक्रम्य निषीद शक्र न एष गन्धो सुसहो देवतेहि ॥ १६ ॥

ṛṣīṇāṃ gandho cirabhāvitānāṃ upavāyati erito mārutena |
ito apakramya niṣīda śakra na eṣa gandho susaho devatehi || 16 ||

The odour of seers who are far advanced is wafted abroad, blown about by the wind. Keep off from here, O Shakra, stay where you are. This odour cannot be endured by devas. (16)
