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 धर्मं वचः पत्युरचेतसः ।

नैवागृह्णन् 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.
