The luminous matter being over whelmed by Vritra and its property, colour and form being thereby lost, the angry Indra again hurled his thunderbolt at him. And thus wounded again by Indra of great power, Vritra entered all on a sudden into the gaseous matter, and thereafter made away with its inherent property.
व्याप्ते ज्योतिषि वृत्रेण रूपेऽथ विषये हृते।॥ शतक्रतुरतिक्रुद्धस्तत्र वज्रमवासृजत्। स वध्यमानो वज्रेण तस्मिन्नमिततेजा॥ विवेश सहसा वायुं जग्राह विषयं ततः।
