वृत्रोऽसुरांस्ताननुगान्मनस्वी
प्रधावतः प्रेक्ष्य बभाष एतत् ।
जातस्य मृत्युध्रुव एष सर्वतः
प्रतिक्रिया यस्य न चेह क्लृप्ता ।
लोको यशश्चाथ ततो यदि ह्यमुं
को नाम मृत्युं न वृणीत युक्तम् ॥

The firm-minded Vritra, seeing those
Asura-followers of his fleeing, said this:
"Death is certain for every body that is
born, this death for which there is no
remedy here. If through that death,
there is going to be the heaven of the
heroes and renown, who will not welcome
it when it comes?"
 
त एवं शंसतो धर्म वचः पत्युरचेतसः ।
नैवागृहन् भयत्रस्ताः पलायनपरा [नृप] ॥
 
Having lost their senses and intent on
running away, the panic-stricken demons
heeded not the words of their master who
was thus speaking what was righteous.
