Prosperity of al rival is always painful, and do you, therefore, with your attendant gods persecute the Asuras with their kith and kin, and slay the most prosperous among them; hence, O Lord of the gods, am I changed in appearance at the thought that my rival is prospering, therefore, O Indra, do you, by all means, restrain Samvarta and king Marutta.
बृहस्पति उवाच देवैः सह त्वमसुरान् प्रणुद्य जिघांससे चाप्युत सानुबन्धान्। यं यं समृद्धं पश्यसि तत्र तत्र दुःखं सपत्नेषु समृद्धिभावः॥ अतोऽस्मि देवेन्द्र विवर्णरूपः सपत्नो मे वर्धते तन्निशम्य। सर्वोपायैर्मघवन् संनियच्छ संवर्त वा पार्थिवं वा मरुत्तम्॥
