कुमारः शंकरस्येव कचो देवगुरोरिव ।
प्रह्लाद इव शुक्रस्य सुपर्ण इव शार्ङ्गिणः ॥ १६ ॥

kumāraḥ śaṃkarasyeva kaco devaguroriva |

Then as Kumara looked reverently on the countenance of his sire Siva, and as Kacha looked with veneration upon the face of the preceptor of the God or Brihaspati; and as Prahlada gazed upon the face of Shukra—the preceptor of demons, and as Suparna viewed the visage of Krishna.
