Translation
Tradução
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.
O semideus Pūṣā será capaz de mastigar somente por intermédio dos dentes de seus discípulos e, se estiver sozinho, terá de contentar-se comendo massa feita de farinha de grão-de-bico. Mas os semideuses que concordaram em me dar o meu quinhão do sacrifício se recuperarão de todos os ferimentos.
Purport
Comentário
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.
SIGNIFICADO—O semideus Pūṣā tornou-se dependente de seus discípulos para mastigar. Caso contrário, ele teria permissão de engolir somente massa feita de farinha de grão-de-bico. Assim, sua punição continuou. Ele não poderia usar seus dentes para comer, uma vez que rira do senhor Śiva, zombando dele ao mostrar-lhe os dentes. Em outras palavras, não era correto que ele tivesse dentes, pois ele os havia usado contra o senhor Śiva.
