Can you say what is that by having done which you have become Indra to-day and what also is that by having done which we have falls off from the position we had occupied. Time is the one creator and destroyer. Nothing else is cause. By encountering any of these, viz.. decline, fall, sovereignty, happiness, misery, birth, and death a learned person neither rejoices nor grieves. You, O Indra, know us. We also, O Vasava, know you. Why then do you brag thus before me, forgetting, O shameless one, that it is Time that has made you what you are? You yourself saw what my prowess was in those days. The energy and might used to display in all my battles, prove it clearly. The Adityas, the Rudras, the Saddhyas, the Vasus, and the Maruts, O lord of Shachi, were all defeated by me. You know it well yourself, O Shakra, that in the great battle between the gods and the Asuras, the assembled gods were speedily। routed by me by the fury of my attack. Mountains with their forests and the denizens, were repeatedly hurled by us. |

Mountains with their forests and the denizens, were repeatedly hurled by us. I broke on your head, many mountain summits with craggy edges. What, however, can I do now? Time cannot be resisted. If it were not so, do not think that I would not have dared to kill you with that thunderbolt of yours with even a blow of my fist. The present, however, is not the hour when I should display my prowess. The present hour is such that I should remain silent and tolerate everything. It is therefore, O Shakra, that I put up with all this insolence of yours. Know, however, that I am less able to bear insolence than even you. |
