ityuktvā punarapyenamapṛcchat sa dvijottamaḥ /
āhāraḥ kastavārthāya upakalpyo bhavenmayā /
sa cāha naramāṃsena tṛptirbhavati me parā //
“He, thus invoked, answered him, Indra in hird-like shape, ‘I will give thee the food thou desirest for the support of thy life.’ Thus having spoken, that best of dvijas further asked him, ‘What food shall I prepare for thy use?’ and he replied, ‘My chiefest delight is in human flesh.’
