THE STORY OF VRITRA ASURA
 
अहो दानव सिद्धोऽसि यस्य ते मतिरीदृशी ।
यद्विहायासुरं भावं महापुरुषतां गतः ॥'
Indra-
"Hail, you demon! you have attained
salvation, you whose mind has become
thus; for you have cast away your
demoniac nature and become a great
man.
 
""
 
इति ब्रुवाणावन्योन्यं युयुधाते युधांपती ॥
 
Thus speaking to each other, the two
chiefs of the warriors fought.
 
जग्रास स समासाद्य वत्रिणं सहवाहनम् ।
भित्त्वा वज्रेण तत्कुक्षि निष्कम्य बलिभिद्विभुः ।
उच्चकर्त शिरइशत्रोर्गिरिशृङ्गमि वौजसा ॥
 
Vritra got at Indra and swallowed him
along with his elephant. The powerful
Indra tore his stomach with his thunder-
bolt, and getting out, forcefully chopped
off his head, like the summit of a
mountain.
