स एवमन्धकस्तत्र कियन्तं कालमावसत् । हृष्टस्तुष्टो वसन्मर्त्ये स सुरैर्नाभ्यभूयत
sa evamandhakastatra kiyantaṃ kālamāvasat | hṛṣṭastuṣṭo vasanmartye sa surairnābhyabhūyata
Ainsi Andhaka demeura là longtemps, vivant dans le monde des mortels avec joie et contentement; et les devas ne purent le dominer.
