Indra said I can reduce my enemies to submission and can even reduce the size of a mountain to an atom, if I will it. But, O Vahni, as I do not accept the libation of Soma drink if offered by an enemy, and as I do not strike the weak with my thunderbolt (Vritra got the better of me for a time) But who among mortals can live in peace by creating enmity with me.
इन्द्र उवाच न गण्डिकाकारयोगं करेऽj न चारिसोमं प्रपिवामि वह्ने। न क्षीणशक्तौ प्रहरामि वज्रं को मेऽसुखाय प्रहरेत मर्त्यः॥
