Indra–Namuci Expiation
आनयिष्यति वेगेन वसिष्ठ॑ तपतां वरम् । इहागतं द्विजश्रेष्ठ हनिष्यामि न संशय:
ānayiṣyati vegena vasiṣṭhaṁ tapatāṁ varam | ihāgataṁ dvijaśreṣṭhaṁ haniṣyāmi na saṁśayaḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“（萨拉斯瓦蒂）将迅疾带来婆悉吒——诸苦行者之最上者。待那最尊贵的‘再生者’来到此处，我必杀之；毫无疑问。”

Educational Q&A
Even a person oriented toward dharma can be overtaken by anger and hostility; ethical vigilance is required so that tapas, status, or certainty does not become a justification for violence.
The speaker reports a determined intention: Sarasvatī is expected to bring the sage Vasiṣṭha swiftly, and upon his arrival the would-be aggressor declares he will kill him without doubt—signaling an escalation of conflict involving revered ascetics.
