Translation

Vṛtrāsura era muy poderoso, tanto por su fuerza física como por su influencia. Poniendo la mandíbula inferior en el suelo, levantó la superior hasta alcanzar el cielo. Su boca se hizo tan profunda como el propio cielo, y su lengua parecía una gran serpiente. Con sus dientes, espantosos como la muerte, parecía querer devorar el universo entero. De ese modo, el gran demonio Vṛtrāsura adoptó un cuerpo gigantesco, que sacudía a las mismas montañas aplastando la superficie de la Tierra con las piernas; era como si los Himālayas hubiesen echado a andar. Llegó ante Indra y se lo tragó, con su elefante Airāvata, del mismo modo que una gran serpiente pitón se tragaría un elefante.

Vṛtrāsura was very powerful in physical strength and influence. He placed his lower jaw on the ground and his upper jaw in the sky. His mouth became very deep, like the sky itself, and his tongue resembled a large serpent. With his fearful, deathlike teeth, he seemed to be trying to devour the entire universe. Thus assuming a gigantic body, the great demon Vṛtrāsura shook even the mountains and began crushing the surface of the earth with his legs, as if he were the Himālayas walking about. He came before Indra and swallowed him and Airāvata, his carrier, just as a big python might swallow an elephant.
