THE STORY OF VRITRA ASURA 135

GOVERNME
मुनेश्शुक्तिभिरुत्सिक्तो भगवत्तेजसाऽन्वितः ।
वृत्रमभ्यद्रवच्छेत्तुं क्रुद्धो रुद्र इवान्तकम् ॥
Then, taking up the thunderbolt made
by Visva karman with the bones of sage
Dadhichi, elated Indra, backed up by the
power of the Lord, attacked Vritra for
cutting him (to pieces), like angry Rudra
attacking the god of death himself.

Then there was a very terrific battle
between the gods and the demons.
सर्वे प्रयासा अभवन्विमोघाः
कृताः कृता देवगणेषु दैत्यैः ।
पलायनायाजिमुखे विसृज्य
पतिं मनस्ते दधुरात्तसाराः ॥
All the efforts the demons made against
the gods were repeatedly rendered
futile. Deprived of their strength, they
made up their minds to forsake their
master (Vritra) at the war-front, and flee.
