TEXT 3
पितरि अंशिते स्यानादिन्द्राण्या धर्षणाद् द्विजैः । प्रापितेऽजगरत्वं वै यथातिरभवन्तृपः ॥ ३ ॥
pitari bhramśite sthānād indrāṇyā dharṣaṇād dvijaiḥ prāpite 'jagaratvam vai yayātir abhavan nṛpaḥ
pitari —when his father;  bhramśite —was caused to fall down;  sthānāt —from the heavenly planets;  indrāṇyāḥ —of Śacī, the wife of Indra;  dharṣaṇāt —from offending;  dvijaiḥ —by them (upon her lodging a complaint with the  brāhmaṇas );  prāpite —being degraded to;  ajagaratvam —the life of a snake;  vai —indeed;  yayātiḥ —the son named Yayāti;  abhavat —became;  nṛpaḥ —the king.
TRANSLATION
Because Nahuṣa, the father of Yayāti, molested Indra's wife, Śacī, who then complained to Agastya and other brāhmaṇas, these saintly brāhmaṇas cursed Nahuṣa to fall from the heavenly planets and be degraded to the status of a python. Consequently, Yayāti became the king.
