नित्यं चावां प्रार्थयते हर्तुं केशी महासुर: । इच्छत्येनं दैत्यसेना न चाहं पाकशासन

Transliteration

nityaṁ cāvāṁ prārthayate hartuṁ keśī mahāsuraḥ | icchaty enaṁ daityasenā na cāhaṁ pākaśāsana

Translation

尤提希提罗说道：“那大阿修罗克西（Keśī）日日图谋掳走我们。达那婆（Dānava）之众亦盼他如此；然而我并非‘制伏帕迦者’——因陀罗（Pākaśāsana），不能仅凭天威便镇压此患。”
