On seeing it a great pain entered the army of the gods. Know from me the vile action that Tāraka has committed against virtue (dharma-viruda) which is sure to bring about his own ruin. He stamped on Indra with his foot after he fell down and seized his thunderbolt with which he hit him with great force. [...]�.
