"Who are you in the form of a boar here, having crossed the swelling sea?
Why have you come here, or where are you to go?" (9)
Hearing their words, that high-minded Boar,
resembling the rumble of a raincloud, then said to all the Dānavas: (10)
"I am a boar, O Daityas, as you can see by such a form.
I have come to this region for roaming about, without a doubt. (11)
My wife has been abducted by another; despondent, O foremost of Daityas,
I am wandering about, contemplating the recovery of that villain's spoils." (12)
The Dānavas said:
"This is not a wandering ground for you; this is the realm of the Daityas.
Disregarding the Daityas, how have you come into this land? (13)
We shall kill you today, all of us, lowest of the race of beasts!
And having slain you, we will indeed take you before the lord of the Daityas." (14)
Then all those Dānavas struck him violently with excellent weapons,
just as haughty clouds [strike] a mountain with rain. (15)
That strong, divine-souled Boar of exceedingly great might,
even while being struck, addressed these words to those Daityas: (16)
"Indeed, O best of Asuras, I have not committed even the slightest
offense against you here, nor will I do so, nor do I now. (17)"
