Shakra said Jataveda, it is you who burns all other things and there is none else who can reduce you to ashes; all the world is afraid to come in contact with you, O carrier of oblation, these words of yours are worthy of no credence.
शक्र उवाच त्वमेवान्यान् दहसे जातवेदो न हि त्वदन्यो विद्यते भस्मकर्ता। त्वत्संस्पर्शात् सर्वलोको बिभेति अश्रद्धेयं वदसे हव्यवाह॥
