(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.
