5.9.14

nirdahanniva cakṣurbhyāṃ yo'sāvāste taponidhiḥ |
taṃ pralobhayituṃ deva gacchāmaḥ sahitā vayam |
yatiṣyāmo vaśe kartuṃ vyapanetuṃ ca te bhayam || 14 ||

"Then the nymphs said, 'O Indra, O slayer of Vala, we shall so endeavour to allure him that thou wilt have nothing to fear at his hands. That very receptacle of austerities, sitting now as if scorching everything with his eyes, O god, we are going together to tempt. We shall try to bring him under our control, and to put an end to your fears.'

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
