Translation
In response to the request of Mahārāja Citraketu, Aṅgirā Ṛṣi, who was born of Lord Brahmā’s mind, was very merciful toward him. Because the sage was a greatly powerful personality, he performed a sacrifice by offering oblations of sweetrice to Tvaṣṭā.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: In response to the request of Mahārāja Citraketu, the merciful sage, who was born of Lord Brahmā's mind, performed a Tvaṣtṛ sacrifice for the devatā Tvāṣtā, after cooking a rice offering.
Tvāṣṭram means “for the devatā Tvaṣṭṛ.”
