Překlad

Thus Indra, King of heaven, severed Namuci’s head with a weapon of foam, which was neither dry nor moist. Then all the sages satisfied Indra, the exalted personality, by showering flowers and garlands upon him, almost covering him.

Tak Indra, nebeský král, setnul Namuciho hlavu zbraní z pěny, která není suchá ani mokrá. Všichni mudrci pak vznešeného Indru potěšili tím, že ho téměř celého zasypali květy a girlandami.
