Translation
As soon as Kuntī called for the demigod of the sun, he immediately appeared before her, and she was very much surprised. She told the sun-god, “I was simply examining the effectiveness of this mystic power. I am sorry I have called you unnecessarily. Please return and excuse me.”
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Seeing the sun-god appear, in astonishment she said, "I was simply examining the effectiveness of this power. Please go away and excuse me."
Devam means the sun-god. “I have used this power to test it. Please forgive me. I am just a girl. You have no use for me. Please go.”
