Shloka 38
Upamanyu’s Tapas, Shiva’s Indra-Form Test, and the Bestowal of Kshiroda and Gaṇapatya
Devanagari script
मन्ये शक्रस्य रूपेण नूनम् अत्रागतः स्वयम् कर्तुं दैत्याधमः कश्चिद् धर्मविघ्नं च नान्यथा
Transliteration
manye śakrasya rūpeṇa nūnam atrāgataḥ svayam kartuṃ daityādhamaḥ kaścid dharmavighnaṃ ca nānyathā
Translation
சக்ரன் (இந்திரன்) என்றே தோற்றமெடுத்து, ஒரு கீழ்மையான தைத்தியன் நிச்சயமாகத் தானே இங்கு வந்துள்ளான்—தர்மத்திற்கு இடையூறு செய்யவே, வேறு காரணமில்லை என நான் எண்ணுகிறேன்।
