5.4

adya paśyantu me vīryaṃ trayo lokāḥ sadevatāḥ /
sa ca paśyatu durbuddhirbrahmahā pākaśāsanaḥ //

“Then hearing that his son was slain, the prajāpati Tvaṣṭṛ enraged, tearing out a single matted lock of hair, uttered this speech. ‘Let the three worlds and the gods thereof see my might this day, and let Indra the perverse brahmanicide see, by whom my son when engaged in his own business was destroyed.’ Thus having spoken, he, his eyes red with anger, sacrificed that lock of hair in the fire.
