[…] Then the king, enraged as if burning those sons, / with eyes red with anger, said: "Perish swiftly this very day! / Do not return without searching out the horse, you cruel ones! / What use are such sons as you to me? Go all of you to the realm of Yama!" / Sanatkumāra said: / Thus addressed, O best of brahmins, they then searched the entire three worlds, / and caused this whole earth to be dug up. / Having then seen the elephants of the directions and seers of strict vows, / holding the earth, seeing and bowing down to them all, / they perceived the sage Kapila sleeping in a pool of water, / and near him they saw the horse; then, enraged, they thought: / Driven by the destined end, ripe in time, wishing to die, / through their father's curse, they then spoke to Kapila, the best of sages: / "This wicked-minded one is the thief who stole our excellent horse and is asleep. / Let us all lead him today to our father's presence." / Sanatkumāra said: / Then, all bound by the noose of time, very mighty, / and under the control of destiny, they struck him with their feet. / Afflicted by them, he, enraged, then suddenly released / the breath held back for ten thousand years, like the king of serpents. / That breath, of the nature of fire, having issued from his mouth, / burned all the sons of Sagara, who were bereft of righteousness and virtue.
