Translation

Traducción

The demigod Pūṣā will be able to chew only through the teeth of his disciples, and if alone, he will have to satisfy himself by eating dough made from chickpea flour. But the demigods who have agreed to give me my share of the sacrifice will recover from all their injuries.

El semidiós Pūṣā solo podrá masticar con los dientes de sus discípulos, y si está solo, tendrá que contentarse comiendo una masa hecha de harina de garbanzo. Pero los semidioses que han decidido darme mi parte del sacrificio se recobrarán de todas sus heridas.

Significado

The demigod Pūṣā became dependent on his disciples for chewing; otherwise he was allowed to swallow only dough made of chickpea flour. Thus his punishment continued. He could not use his teeth for eating, since he had laughed at Lord Śiva, deriding him by showing his teeth. In other words, it was not appropriate for him to have teeth, for he had used them against Lord Śiva.

El semidiós Pūṣā quedó supeditado a sus discípulos para comer. En caso de estar solo, solamente podría ingerir una masa hecha de harina de garbanzo. Es decir, no se libró del castigo. Por haberse reído del Señor Śiva, enseñando los dientes en son de burla, no podría usar los dientes para comer. En otras palabras, no era apropiado que tuviera dientes, pues los había usado contra el Señor Śiva.
