Transliteration
Vṛtra uvāca: satyena tapasā caiva viditvā saṁśayaṁ hāham | na śocāmi na hṛṣyāmi bhūtānām āgatiṁ gatiṁ ||
Translation
Vṛtra said: “O Brāhmaṇa, through truthfulness and ascetic discipline I have come to know—without any doubt—the hidden law of beings’ coming and going (their repeated arrivals and departures in existence). Therefore, regarding their course and destiny, I neither grieve nor exult.”
