3.18.7

taṃ niḥsarantaṃ salilād anudruto hiraṇya-keśo dviradaṃ yathā jhaṣaḥ /
karāla-daṃṣṭro 'śani-nisvano 'bravīd gata-hriyāṃ kiṃ tv asatāṃ vigarhitam //

7. The Daitya of golden hair and of fearful tusks, roaring like thunder, pursued like the *makara* fish, Him who was rising out of the water, and said “Is there anything reproachful in the view of the shameless wicked?”

[He said, “What reproachful thing could be found in those who are ashamed to do anything wrong and than whom none are more righteous and merciful? *Note:* It may also bear this meaning—The Asura blames himself for pursuing one who lifts up the earth for the good of the world and says what reproachful thing would not be done by the wicked who are like himself shamelessly following their own purpose.]
