Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
इन्द्र वाच किमर्थ भगवन् घोरा उत्पाता: सहसोत्थिता: । न च शत्रु प्रपश्यामि युधि यो नः प्रधर्षयेत्
indra uvāca: kimarthaṁ bhagavan ghorā utpātāḥ sahasotthitāḥ | na ca śatruṁ prapaśyāmi yudhi yo naḥ pradharṣayet ||
Indra nói: “Vì cớ gì, bậc Tôn Quý, những điềm dữ ghê rợn lại bỗng nhiên nổi lên? Ta không thấy kẻ thù nào trên chiến địa có thể khuất phục hay làm nhục chúng ta—các chư thiên.”

Indra, noticing frightening omens, questions a revered sage about their cause, expressing surprise because he sees no apparent foe capable of challenging the gods in open battle.
