3.18.6

sa tudyamāno 'ri-durukta-tomarair daṃṣṭrāgra-gāṃ gām upalakṣya bhītām /
todaṃ mṛṣan niragād ambu-madhyād grāhāhataḥ sa-kareṇur yathebhaḥ //

6. Being pierced with the sharp words of his enemy which were like the *tomara* (a sharp pointed arrow,) and seeing the Earth on his tusks affrighted He patiently bore all that trouble and rose out of the water, like an elephant with his female companion when assailed by a crocodile.

[Being pained to see Brahma and others put to the rack with the *Tomaras* of bad expressions *i.e.*, with the wrong superficial interpretations put upon the Vedic words, and for the moment patiently putting up with the pain He rose out of the water etc.]
