वदतो दानवेन्द्रस्य न चुकोप स केशवः । अयुध्यमानं तं दृष्ट्वा चिन्तयामास दानवः
vadato dānavendrasya na cukopa sa keśavaḥ | ayudhyamānaṃ taṃ dṛṣṭvā cintayāmāsa dānavaḥ
Dù chúa tể loài Dānava nói như vậy, Keśava vẫn không nổi giận. Thấy đối phương không cầm vũ khí giao chiến, Dānava liền ngẫm nghĩ trong lòng nên làm thế nào.
