O son of Kavi, I was killed by the Asuras; my body was burnt and reduced to ashes and I was then given to you with your wine. O Brahman, when you are present, how is possible for the Asura Maya (the power of the Asuras) to overcome the Brahma Maya (the power of the Brahmanas)?
असुरैः सुरायां भवतोऽस्मि दत्तो हत्वा दग्ध्वा चूर्णयित्वा च काव्य। ब्राह्मीं मायां चासुरीं विप्र मायां त्वयि स्थिते कथमेवातिवर्तेत्॥
