Transliteration

yaḥ spṛthayā yajac chakraṃ devarājaṃ purandaram | śakra-priyaiṣī yaṃ vidvān pratyācaṣṭa bṛhaspatiḥ ||

Translation

Vāyu disse: “Aquele que, por rivalidade e ambição, realizou sacrifícios para conquistar Śakra—Indra, rei dos deuses e destruidor de fortalezas—foi, embora erudito, repreendido e contido por Bṛhaspati, pois buscava o que era caro a Indra.”
