1.18.21

yad-ālambāj janaḥ prāṇaṃ yasmād rakṣitum icchati |
vaiparītyaṃ tayoḥ kurvann anunmatto na kathyate || [anuṣṭubh]
[20] indra uvāca-avicāritam evācaritam idaṃ mayā, bhavadbhiś ca sāmprataṃ sāmpratam upadiśyatām |

"He who inverts the two—the one by whose shelter a person wishes to protect life, and the one [from whom he protects it]— / is called nothing other than mad." (6) / [20] Indra said: "This was indeed done by me thoughtlessly; therefore, let proper advice be given by you now."
