5.3.15

vyāsa uvāca |
tacchutvā vacanaṃ tasya śakraḥ krodhasamanvitaḥ |
uvāca taṃ nṛpaśreṣṭha smitapūrvaṃ vacastadā ||

Vyâsa said:-- Hearing the messenger's words, Indra became very indignant and laughed and said:-- I did not know, O you stupid, that you were maddened with vanity; I will shortly give medicines for your master's disease. Now I will extirpate him by the roots; wise persons do not slay messengers; I therefore let you go. Better go and tell him what I say:-- “Son of a buffalo! If you are willing to fight, better come and do not delay. O Enemy of horse! (Buffaloes and horses are always at war with each other) Your strength is well known to me; you are a grass eater and your appearance is stupid, idiotic; out of your horns I will make a good bow. You depend on your horns for your strength;
that I well know. You are clever in striking with your horns; you don't know anything about warfare; therefore I will out off your both the weapons and render you powerless. You are very much puffed up with vanity due to that.”
