अर्थMeaning
Then they (the Devas) said to breath (scent): 'Do thou sing out for us.' 'Yes,' said breath, and sang. Whatever delight there is in breath (smell), that he obtained for the Devas by singing; but that he smelled well, that was for himself. The Asuras knew: 'Verily, through this singer they will overcome us.' They therefore rushed at the singer, and pierced him with evil. That evil which consists in smelling what is bad, that is that evil.

व्याख्याVyakhya
फिर उन्होंने प्राण (घ्राण) से कहा, 'तुम हमारे लिए उद्गान करो।' 'ठीक है', कहकर प्राण ने उनके लिए उद्गान किया। प्राण में जो भोग है, उसे उसने देवताओं के लिए गाकर प्राप्त किया, और जो वह शुभ सूँघता है, उसे अपने लिए। असुरों ने जाना, 'इस उद्गाता के द्वारा ये हमें पराजित कर देंगे।' उन्होंने उस पर टूटकर उसे पाप से बींध दिया। जो यह अनुचित सूँघना है, वही वह पाप है।
