Shloka 27
इन्द्रस्य दुःखप्राप्तिः—त्रिशिरोवधः, वृत्रोत्पत्तिः, जृम्भिकाजननम्
Indra’s Distress: Slaying of Triśiras, Birth of Vṛtra, and the Origin of Yawning
क्योंकि वे मारे जानेपर भी अपने तेजसे उद्दीप्त होकर जीवित-से दिखायी देते थे। युद्धमें मारे हुए त्रिशिराके तीनों सिर जीते-जागते-से अद्भुत प्रतीत हो रहे थे ।।
tato 'tibhītatagātras tu śakra āste vicārayan | athājagāma paraśuṃ skandhenādāya vardhakiḥ ||
因为即便被杀，他们仍被自身的神辉所炽燃，宛如未死。战场上，特里希拉斯被斩下的三颗头颅竟奇异地如同活着一般。因陀罗（释迦罗）见此大骇，惶惧之中坐而沉思。就在那时，一名木匠出现，肩扛斧头而来。

The passage highlights how violence can produce unsettling, unforeseen consequences: even apparent victory may be shadowed by fear and moral uncertainty, prompting reflection rather than triumph.
After witnessing the uncanny, seemingly living appearance of the slain Triśiras’s three heads, Indra becomes deeply frightened and sits thinking; at that moment a carpenter appears carrying an axe, setting up the next action in the episode.
