Text 1.37.28
तेषां तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा स्कन्नं गर्भपरिस्रवे।
स्नापयन्परया लक्ष्म्या दीप्यमानं यथानलम्॥
teṣāṁ tad vacanaṁ śrutvā skannaṁ garbha-parisrave
snāpayan parayā lakṣmyā dīpyamānaṁ yathānalam
teṣām tat vacanam śrutvā = hearing the words of the demigods; skannam garbha-parisrave = the child who had fallen off the womb; snāpayan = the Kṛttikās bathed; parayā lakṣmyā = with extreme splendor; dīpyamānam = the child was shining; yathā analam = like fire.
Hearing those words of the demigods, the Kṛttikās bathed that child who had fallen off the womb. The child was shining with extreme splendor like fire.
