1.194

To him he gave the Śakvarī verses. Then indeed Indra slew Vṛtra. He slays his hostile rival who knows thus. He considered: 'If I give it to him by day, the rival world of these [enemies] will exceed during the night; if I give it to him at night, the rival world of these [enemies] will exceed during the day.' He saw this: just at that time when the sun is unloosed, at that very time he gave it to him. Thereby he excluded the Asuras from both day and night. He excludes his hostile rival from both day and night who knows thus. Just as one might cross over carrying an iron image, so indeed is the Ṣoḍaśin of chants for the attainment of the heavenly world. He attains the heavenly world who knows thus.
