Translation
Překlad
King Indra was fraudulently dressed as a sannyāsī, having knotted his hair on his head and smeared ashes all over his body. Upon seeing such dress, the son of King Pṛthu considered Indra a religious man and pious sannyāsī. Therefore he did not release his arrows.
Král Indra byl falešně oblečený jako sannyāsī, se zauzlenými vlasy na hlavě a popelem rozetřeným po celém těle. Když syn krále Pṛthua uviděl tento oděv, považoval Indru za zbožného sannyāsīna, a proto na něj nevyslal své šípy.
