Shloka 10
इन्द्रस्य दुःखप्राप्तिः—त्रिशिरोवधः, वृत्रोत्पत्तिः, जृम्भिकाजननम्
Indra’s Distress: Slaying of Triśiras, Birth of Vṛtra, and the Origin of Yawning
यथा स सज्जेत् त्रिशिरा: कामभोगेषु वै भृशम् । क्षिप्रं कुरुत गच्छध्वं प्रलोभयत मा चिरम्
yathā sa sajjet triśirāḥ kāmabhogeṣu vai bhṛśam | kṣipraṃ kuruta gacchadhvaṃ pralobhayata mā ciram ||
沙利耶说道：“务必迅速用力，使特里希罗深深沉溺于欲乐之中。立刻去吧——诱惑他，莫要迟延。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a morally fraught tactic: using temptation to weaken or divert someone from their higher purpose. It implicitly raises an ethical contrast between self-mastery (restraint over kāma) and vulnerability to manipulation through desire.
Śalya issues an urgent command to agents (contextually, temptresses such as apsarases) to quickly entice Triśirā into sensual indulgence, aiming to make him strongly attached to pleasure and thereby influence his conduct.
