1.3.11
athendramabruvanmaghavannetadvijānīhi kimetadyakṣamiti tatheti tadabhyadravattasmāttirodadhe ||

Atha indram abruvan, maghavan etat vijānīhi etc., is to be explained as before. Indra who is a great Lord, and is called Maghavā, because of strength; tat abhyadravat, approached that Yakṣa. Tasmāt, from him, from Indra who had approached Itself (Yakṣa); that Brahman, tirodadhe, vanished from sight. Brahman did not so much as grant him an interview, so that Indra's pride at being Indra might be totally eradicated.
