Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
इन्द्र वाच किमर्थ भगवन् घोरा उत्पाता: सहसोत्थिता: । न च शत्रु प्रपश्यामि युधि यो नः प्रधर्षयेत्
indra uvāca: kimarthaṁ bhagavan ghorā utpātāḥ sahasotthitāḥ | na ca śatruṁ prapaśyāmi yudhi yo naḥ pradharṣayet ||
قال إندرا: «لأيِّ سببٍ، أيها المبارك، ظهرت هذه النُّذُرُ المروِّعة فجأة؟ لا أرى في ساحة القتال عدوًّا يستطيع أن يقهرنا أو يذلَّنا نحنُ الآلهة.»
