The gods seized the nectar and drank it deceitfully. Then the gods including Indra increased in strength and prowess by the drinking of the nectar and harassed the Asuras with the assistance of Viṣṇu. This Viṣṇu who is always a partisan (貹ṣaپ) of Indra [hi 貹ṣapātī haressadā], cut off the head of Rahu as he was drinking the nectar along with the gods. [...]�.
