Shloka 33
असूयतश्च शक्रस्य वज्ेण प्रहरिष्यत: । स वज्ं स्तम्भयामास त॑ बाहुं परिघोपमम्
asūyataś ca śakrasya vajreṇa prahariṣyataḥ | sa vajraṃ stambhayāmāsa taṃ bāhuṃ parighopamam ||
Wika ni Vāyu: Nang si Śakra (Indra), dahil sa paninibugho, ay handa nang humampas gamit ang kaniyang vajra, pinatigil ng batang iyon ang mismong bisig na may hawak ng vajra—makapal at nakapanghihilakbot na parang pamalong bakal—at hindi na ito naigalaw.
