svasrīyaṁ dviṣatām api
Racanā, the daughter of the Daityas, became the wife of Prajāpati Tvaṣṭā. He begot in her womb two very powerful sons named Sanniveśa and Viśvarūpa.
Racanā, daughter of the Daityas, was the wife of Tvaṣṭā. From the two of them two sons were born.
|| 6.6.45 ||
taṁ vavrire sura-gaṇā
svasrīyaṁ dviṣatām api
vimatena parityaktā
guruṇāṅgirasena yat
Although Viśvarūpa was the son of the daughter (Racaṇa) of their eternal enemies the Daityas, the devatās accepted him as their priest in accordance with the order of Brahmā when they were abandoned by their spiritual master, Bṛhaspati, whom they had disrespected.
When the devatās had been rejected by their guru whom they disrespected, because there was no other alternative, they accepted Viśvarūpa, the son of a daughter of the Daityas, as their priest.
Thus ends the commentary on the Sixth Chapter of the Sixth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
Chapter Seven
The Devataṣ Accept Viśvarūpa as their Guru
|| 6.7.1 ||
śrī-rājovāca
kasya hetoḥ parityaktā
ācāryeṇātmanaḥ surāḥ
etad ācakṣva bhagavañ
chiṣyāṇām akramaṁ gurau
Mahārāja Parīkṣit said: O great sage! Why did Bṛhaspati reject the devatās? Please describe the offense the devatās committed to their guru.
The Seventh Chapter describes how the devatās, abandoned by their guru Bṛhaspati and defeated by the Daityas, accepted Viśvarūpa as their guru on the advice of Brahmā.
Why did Bṛhaspati reject the devatās who were his (ātmanaḥ) disciples?
|| 6.7.2-8 ||
