The forefathers said: "Aurva, the might of your fierce austerity is seen, child; show grace to the worlds, restrain your own anger. For it was not from helplessness, child, that the Bhrigus, of perfected soul, all disregarded their own slaying by the kshatriyas who were destroying them."

Here the forefathers themselves come to still the wrath of their descendant. It is significant that they ask him to "restrain his anger" and show grace: those on whose behalf vengeance is sought do not themselves desire it. True love for the departed lies not in bloody retribution but in fulfilling their will; and the will of the Bhrigus was peace, not destruction. Significant, too, is the phrase "not from helplessness": their death was not a defeat but an outcome of their own choosing. Thus the scripture shows that Aurva's anger rests on ignorance of the forefathers' true will; and the forefathers hasten to reveal the truth to him, so as to still his needless fury.
