devāsurā vā eṣu lokeṣu samayatanta.  
te vai devāḥ ṣaṣṭhenaivāhnaibhyo lokebhyo 'surān prāṇudanta.  
teṣāṃ yāny antarhastīnāni vasūny āsaṃs, tāny ādāya samudram praupyanta.  
ta etenaiva chandasānuhāyāntarhastīnāni vasūny ādadata.  
tad yad etat padam punaḥpadaṃ, sa evāṅkuśa āsañjanāyā/dviṣato  
vasu datte, nir enam ebhyaḥ sarvebhyo lokebhyo nudate,  
ya evaṃ veda

> v. 11 (xxii. 6). The gods and the Asuras were in conflict over these worlds. The gods by the sixth day repelled the Asuras from these worlds; taking all the wealth that was within reach, they cast it into the sea. Following up they rescued by this metre the wealth within reach; in that this Pada is a repeated Pada, it is a hook to fasten on. He secures the wealth of him who hates him, he repels him from all these worlds who knows thus.
