Chapter 14: The Story of King Vena. Text 2

वीरमातरमाहूय सुनीथां ब्रह्मवादिनः ।
प्रकृत्यसम्मतं वेनमभ्यषिञ्चन्पतिं भुवः ॥२॥

vÄ«ra-mÄtaram ÄhÅ«ya

abhyaṣiñcan patiṠbhuvaḥ

 vÄ«ra - of Vena; mÄtaram - mother; ÄhÅ«ya - calling; sunÄ«thÄm - of the name SunÄ«thÄ; brahma-vÄdinaḥ - the great sages learned in the Vedas; praká¹›ti - by the ministers; asammatam - not approved of; venam - Vena; abhyaá¹£iñcan - enthroned; patim - the master; bhuvaḥ - of the world.

The great sages then called for the Queen Mother, SunÄ«thÄ, and with her permission they installed Vena on the throne as master of the world. All the ministers, however, disagreed with this.
