the god who bears the form of the foremost youth spoke these words: / “O lord of gods, it was spoken by this Śakra in my presence, // 56 // / ‘I am greater than you!’ Thus anger entered into me. / Therefore, this great spear has been driven by me into the surface of the earth. // 57 // / Whichever immortal is capable of lifting it—apart from the god, the wielder of Pināka— / let him pull it out! For then he is greater than I!” // 58 // / Having spoken thus, the god, radiant as the morning sun, / became silent, glad at heart, and stood at his father's side. // 59 // / Then Indra, among the deities, filled with the pride of sovereignty, that immortal / strove to pull out that spear that had penetrated the earth. // 60
