Then Kumāra, swiftly circumambulating that Krauñca, / quickly spoke upon seeing Indra, ‘I am the victor!’ / ‘I alone am the victor!’ Śakra said to Guha.
As they were speaking thus repeatedly, Śakra and Kumāra, / Krauñca, that earth-dweller, approached and said words: ‘What is this?’
Then Śakra addressed this speech to Kumāra at that time: / ‘This Krauñca of great strength is the witness of our victory.
For he, the noble grandson of the snow-mountain, will not speak an untruth.’
