They said to speech (Vâk): 'Do thou sing out for us (the udgîtha).' 'Yes,' said speech, and sang (the udgîtha). Whatever delight there is in speech, that she obtained for the Devas by singing (the three pavamânas); but that she pronounced well (in the other nine pavamânas), that was for herself. The Asuras knew: 'Verily, through this singer they will overcome us.' They therefore rushed at the singer and pierced her with evil. That evil which consists in saying what is bad, that is that evil.

उन्होंने वाणी से कहा, 'तुम हमारे लिए उद्गान करो।' 'ठीक है', कहकर वाणी ने उनके लिए उद्गान किया। वाणी में जो भोग (सुख) है, उसे उसने देवताओं के लिए गाकर प्राप्त किया, और जो वह शुभ बोलती 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 बोलना है, वही वह पाप है।
