2. His face became fiery and terrifying, and he developed extreme discoloration. There was a very great trembling of his limbs, and he also experienced mighty shortness of breath. Intense horripilation (hair standing on end) and mighty sighs also manifested, O king.

3. From his mouth, a very dreadful, inauspicious-looking jackal emerged. His greatly terrifying consciousness (smṛti) departed from him, O Bhārata. Additionally, fiery and bright meteors fell beside him.

4. Vultures, herons, and crows, uttering very dreadful cries, joyfully circled like a wheel above Vṛtra.
ततस्तं रथमास्थाय देवाप्यायितमाहवे ।
वज्रोद्यतकरः शक्रस्तं दैत्यं प्रत्यवैक्षत ॥५॥
5. tatastaṁ rathamāsthāya devāpyāyitamāhave ,

5. tataḥ śakraḥ vajra udyata karaḥ devāpyāyitam āhave
tam ratham āsthāya tam daityam prati avekṣata
5. Then, having mounted that chariot which was empowered by the gods for battle, Śakra (Indra), with the thunderbolt raised in his hand, looked intently at that demon.
अमानुषमथो नादं स मुमोच महासुरः ।
व्यजृम्भत च राजेन्द्र तीव्रज्वरसमन्वितः ।
अथास्य जृम्भतः शक्रस्ततो वज्रमवासृजत् ॥६॥
6. amānuṣamatho nādaṁ sa mumoca mahāsuraḥ ,
vyajṛmbhata ca rājendra tīvrajvarasamanvitaḥ ,
athāsya jṛmbhataḥ śakrastato vajramavāsṛjat.
6. amānuṣam atho nādam saḥ mumoca

mumoca ca rājendra tīvra jvara
samanvitaḥ vi ajṛmbhata atha asya
jṛmbhataḥ tataḥ śakraḥ vajram avāsṛjat
6. Then that great demon (Vṛtra) let out an inhuman roar. And, O king of kings, he yawned, afflicted with a fierce fever. Thereupon, as he was yawning, Śakra (Indra) released the thunderbolt.
स वज्रः सुमहातेजाः कालाग्निसदृशोपमः ।
क्षिप्रमेव महाकायं वृत्रं दैत्यमपातयत् ॥७॥
7. sa vajraḥ sumahātejāḥ kālāgnisadṛśopamaḥ ,
kṣiprameva mahākāyaṁ vṛtraṁ daityamapātayat.

7. saḥ vajraḥ su mahā tejasaḥ kāla agni sadṛśa upamaḥ
kṣipram eva mahā kāyam daityam vṛtram apātayat
7. That thunderbolt, exceedingly mighty and resembling the fire of cosmic dissolution, quickly brought down the great-bodied demon Vṛtra.
ततो नादः समभवत्पुनरेव समन्ततः ।
वृत्रं विनिहतं दृष्ट्वा देवानां भरतर्षभ ॥८॥
8. tato nādaḥ samabhavatpunareva samantataḥ ,
vṛtraṁ vinihataṁ dṛṣṭvā devānāṁ bharatarṣabha.

vṛtram vinihatam dṛṣṭvā devānām bharatarṣabha
8. tataḥ punaḥ eva samantataḥ nādaḥ sam abhavat
bharatarṣabha devānām vṛtram vinihatam dṛṣṭvā
8. Then a roar arose again from all sides, O best of Bharatas, as the gods saw Vṛtra slain.
वृत्रं तु हत्वा भगवान्दानवारिर्महायशाः ।
वज्रेण विष्णुयुक्तेन दिवमेव समाविशत् ॥९॥

vajreṇa viṣṇuyuktena divam eva samāviśat
9. bhagavān dānavāriḥ mahāyaśāḥ tu vṛtram hatvā
viṣṇuyuktena vajreṇa divam eva samāviśat
9. But having slain Vṛtra, the glorious lord, foe of the Danavas, ascended to heaven with his thunderbolt (vajra), empowered by Viṣṇu.
अथ वृत्रस्य कौरव्य शरीरादभिनिःसृता ।
ब्रह्महत्या महाघोरा रौद्रा लोकभयावहा ॥१०॥

10. Then, O descendant of Kuru, from Vṛtra's body emerged Brāhmaṇicide (brahmahatyā), which was exceedingly dreadful, fierce, and terrifying to the world.
करालदशना भीमा विकृता कृष्णपिङ्गला ।
प्रकीर्णमूर्धजा चैव घोरनेत्रा च भारत ॥११॥

11. bhārata karāladaśanā bhīmā vikṛtā kṛṣṇapiṅgalā
ca eva prakīrṇamūrdhajā ca ghoranetrā
11. It (Brāhmaṇicide) possessed terrifying fangs, was formidable and distorted, with a dark-brown complexion, disheveled hair, and dreadful eyes, O Bhārata.
कपालमालिनी चैव कृशा च भरतर्षभ ।
रुधिरार्द्रा च धर्मज्ञ चीरवस्त्रनिवासिनी ॥१२॥

12. bharatarṣabha dharmajña kapālamālinī ca eva
kṛśā ca rudhirārdrā ca cīravastranivāsinī
12. It (Brāhmaṇicide) also wore a garland of skulls and was emaciated, drenched in blood, and clad in tattered garments, O bull among Bharatas, O knower of natural law (dharma).
साभिनिष्क्रम्य राजेन्द्र तादृग्रूपा भयावहा ।
वज्रिणं मृगयामास तदा भरतसत्तम ॥१३॥

13. rājendra bharatasattama sā abhiniṣkramya
tādṛgrūpā bhayāvahā tadā vajriṇam mṛgayāmāsa
13. Having emerged, O king among kings (rājendra), she, possessing such a terrifying form, then sought out Indra, the wielder of the thunderbolt (vajriṇam), O best of the Bharatas (bharatasattama).
कस्यचित्त्वथ कालस्य वृत्रहा कुरुनन्दन ।
स्वर्गायाभिमुखः प्रायाल्लोकानां हितकाम्यया ॥१४॥
14. kasyacittvatha kālasya vṛtrahā kurunandana ,
svargāyābhimukhaḥ prāyāllokānāṁ hitakāmyayā.
14. kasyacit tu atha kālasya vṛtrahā kurunandana
svargāya abhimukhaḥ prāyāt lokānām hitakāmyayā
14. kurunandana kasyacit tu atha kālasya vṛtrahā
lokānām hitakāmyayā svargāya abhimukhaḥ prāyāt
14. After some time (kasyacit kālasya), O delight of the Kurus (kurunandana), Indra, the slayer of Vṛtra (vṛtrahā), departed towards heaven (svargāya), desiring the welfare of all beings (lokānām hitakāmyayā).
बिसान्निःसरमाणं तु दृष्ट्वा शक्रं महौजसम् ।
कण्ठे जग्राह देवेन्द्रं सुलग्ना चाभवत्तदा ॥१५॥
15. bisānniḥsaramāṇaṁ tu dṛṣṭvā śakraṁ mahaujasam ,
kaṇṭhe jagrāha devendraṁ sulagnā cābhavattadā.
15. bisāt niḥsaramāṇam tu dṛṣṭvā śakram mahaujasam
kaṇṭhe jagrāha devendram sulagnā ca abhavat tadā
15. tu śakram mahaujasam bisāt niḥsaramāṇam dṛṣṭvā sā
(implied) sulagnā abhavat ca tadā devendram kaṇṭhe jagrāha
15. Having seen Indra (śakra), the mighty one (mahaujasam), emerging from the lotus stalks (bisāt niḥsaramāṇam), she (Brahmāhatyā, implied) then firmly clung to the lord of the gods (devendram) and seized him by the neck.
स हि तस्मिन्समुत्पन्ने ब्रह्महत्याकृते भये ।
नलिन्यां बिसमध्यस्थो बभूवाब्दगणान्बहून् ॥१६॥
16. sa hi tasminsamutpanne brahmahatyākṛte bhaye ,
nalinyāṁ bisamadhyastho babhūvābdagaṇānbahūn.
16. saḥ hi tasmin samutpanne brahmahatyākṛte bhaye
nalinyām bisamadhyasthaḥ babhūva abdagaṇān bahūn
16. hi tasmin samutpanne brahmahatyākṛte bhaye saḥ
nalinyām bisamadhyasthaḥ bahūn abdagaṇān babhūva
16. Indeed (hi), when that fear (bhaye), caused by the heinous sin of killing a Brahmin (brahmahatyā), arose (samutpanne) in him (tasmin), he (saḥ) resided (babhūva), staying amidst the lotus stalks (bisamadhyasthaḥ) in a lotus pond (nalinyām), for many (bahūn) years (abdagaṇān).
अनुसृत्य तु यत्नात्स तया वै ब्रह्महत्यया ।
तदा गृहीतः कौरव्य निश्चेष्टः समपद्यत ॥१७॥
17. anusṛtya tu yatnātsa tayā vai brahmahatyayā ,
tadā gṛhītaḥ kauravya niśceṣṭaḥ samapadyata.
17. anusṛtya tu yatnāt saḥ tayā vai brahmahatyayā

17. kauravya tu yatnāt tayā vai brahmahatyayā
anusṛtya saḥ tadā gṛhītaḥ niśceṣṭaḥ samapadyata
17. Indeed, O scion of Kuru, when that sin of killing a Brahmin (brahmahatyā) diligently pursued him, he was then seized by it and became utterly motionless.
तस्या व्यपोहने शक्रः परं यत्नं चकार ह ।
न चाशकत्तां देवेन्द्रो ब्रह्महत्यां व्यपोहितुम् ॥१८॥
18. tasyā vyapohane śakraḥ paraṁ yatnaṁ cakāra ha ,
na cāśakattāṁ devendro brahmahatyāṁ vyapohitum.
18. tasyāḥ vyapohane śakraḥ param yatnam cakāra ha na
ca aśakat tām devendraḥ brahmahatyām vyapohitum
18. śakraḥ tasyāḥ vyapohane param yatnam ha cakāra.
ca devendraḥ tām brahmahatyām vyapohitum na aśakat.
18. Indra (Śakra) indeed made a great effort to dispel that (brahmahatyā), yet the king of the gods (Devendra) was unable to remove that sin of killing a Brahmin (brahmahatyā).
गृहीत एव तु तया देवेन्द्रो भरतर्षभ ।
पितामहमुपागम्य शिरसा प्रत्यपूजयत् ॥१९॥
19. gṛhīta eva tu tayā devendro bharatarṣabha ,
pitāmahamupāgamya śirasā pratyapūjayat.
19. gṛhītaḥ eva tu tayā devendraḥ bharatarṣabha
pitāmaham upāgamya śirasā pratyapūjayat
19. bharatarṣabha,
devendraḥ tu tayā gṛhītaḥ eva pitāmaham upāgamya śirasā pratyapūjayat.
19. Indeed, O best of Bharatas, when the king of the gods (Devendra) was seized by her (brahmahatyā), he approached the Grandfather (Brahmā) and bowed with his head to worship him.
ज्ञात्वा गृहीतं शक्रं तु द्विजप्रवरहत्यया ।
ब्रह्मा संचिन्तयामास तदा भरतसत्तम ॥२०॥
20. jñātvā gṛhītaṁ śakraṁ tu dvijapravarahatyayā ,
brahmā saṁcintayāmāsa tadā bharatasattama.
20. jñātvā gṛhītam śakram tu dvijapravarahatyayā
brahmā sañcintayāmāsa tadā bharatasattama
20. bharatasattama,
tu dvijapravarahatyayā śakram gṛhītam jñātvā brahmā tadā sañcintayāmāsa.
20. O best among the Bharatas, when Brahmā understood that Indra (Śakra) had indeed been seized by the sin of killing the foremost Brahmin, he then began to ponder.
तामुवाच महाबाहो ब्रह्महत्यां पितामहः ।
स्वरेण मधुरेणाथ सान्त्वयन्निव भारत ॥२१॥
21. tāmuvāca mahābāho brahmahatyāṁ pitāmahaḥ ,
svareṇa madhureṇātha sāntvayanniva bhārata.
21. tām uvāca mahābāho brahmahatyām pitāmahaḥ
svareṇa madhureṇa atha sāntvayann iva bhārata
21. bhārata mahābāho atha pitāmahaḥ tām brahmahatyām
madhureṇa svareṇa sāntvayann iva uvāca
21. O mighty-armed one, then the grandfather (Brahmā) addressed that brahmin-killing (brahmahatyā) with a sweet voice, as if consoling her.
मुच्यतां त्रिदशेन्द्रोऽयं मत्प्रियं कुरु भामिनि ।
ब्रूहि किं ते करोम्यद्य कामं कं त्वमिहेच्छसि ॥२२॥
22. mucyatāṁ tridaśendro'yaṁ matpriyaṁ kuru bhāmini ,
brūhi kiṁ te karomyadya kāmaṁ kaṁ tvamihecchasi.
22. mucyatām tridaśendraḥ ayam matpriyam kuru bhāmini |
brūhi kim te karomi adya kāmam kam tvam iha icchasi
22. bhāmini,
ayam tridaśendraḥ mucyatām matpriyam kuru adya te kim karomi,
tvam iha kam kāmam icchasi iti brūhi
22. Let this lord of the gods be freed; O beautiful one, do what is pleasing to me. Tell me, what shall I do for you today? Which desire do you wish for here?
ब्रह्महत्योवाच ।
त्रिलोकपूजिते देवे प्रीते त्रैलोक्यकर्तरि ।
कृतमेवेह मन्येऽहं निवासं तु विधत्स्व मे ॥२३॥
23. brahmahatyovāca ,
trilokapūjite deve prīte trailokyakartari ,
kṛtameveha manye'haṁ nivāsaṁ tu vidhatsva me.
23. brahmahatyā uvāca | trilokapūjite deve prīte trailokyakartari

23. brahmahatyā uvāca: trilokapūjite,
trailokyakartari deve prīte sati,
aham iha kṛtam eva manye tu me nivāsam vidhatsva
23. Brahmin-killing (brahmahatyā) said: 'When the God, revered by the three worlds and the creator of the three worlds, is pleased, I consider my request to be as good as fulfilled here. However, you must arrange a dwelling for me.'
त्वया कृतेयं मर्यादा लोकसंरक्षणार्थिना ।
स्थापना वै सुमहती त्वया देव प्रवर्तिता ॥२४॥
24. tvayā kṛteyaṁ maryādā lokasaṁrakṣaṇārthinā ,
sthāpanā vai sumahatī tvayā deva pravartitā.
24. tvayā kṛtā iyam maryādā lokasaṃrakṣaṇārthinā
| sthāpanā vai sumahatī tvayā deva pravartitā
24. lokasaṃrakṣaṇārthinā tvayā iyam maryādā kṛtā deva,
vai tvayā sumahatī sthāpanā pravartitā
24. This boundary was created by you, who desired the protection of the worlds. Indeed, a very great arrangement has been set in motion by you, O God.
प्रीते तु त्वयि धर्मज्ञ सर्वलोकेश्वरे प्रभो ।
शक्रादपगमिष्यामि निवासं तु विधत्स्व मे ॥२५॥
25. prīte tu tvayi dharmajña sarvalokeśvare prabho ,
śakrādapagamiṣyāmi nivāsaṁ tu vidhatsva me.
25. prīte tu tvayi dharmajña sarvalokeśvare prabho
śakrāt apagamiṣyāmi nivāsam tu vidhatsva me
25. prabho dharmajña sarvalokeśvare tvayi prīte tu
(sati) śakrāt apagamiṣyāmi me nivāsam tu vidhatsva
25. O Lord (prabho), Knower of (natural) law (dharma), Lord of all worlds! When you are pleased, I will indeed leave Indra's abode; therefore, please arrange a dwelling for me.
भीष्म उवाच ।
तथेति तां प्राह तदा ब्रह्महत्यां पितामहः ।
उपायतः स शक्रस्य ब्रह्महत्यां व्यपोहत ॥२६॥
26. bhīṣma uvāca ,
tatheti tāṁ prāha tadā brahmahatyāṁ pitāmahaḥ ,
upāyataḥ sa śakrasya brahmahatyāṁ vyapohata.
26. bhīṣma uvāca tathā iti tām prāha tadā brahmahatyām

26. bhīṣma uvāca tadā pitāmahaḥ tām brahmahatyām 'tathā'
iti prāha sa upāyataḥ śakrasya brahmahatyām vyapohat
26. Bhishma said: "Then the Grandsire (pitāmaha) said to her, the Brahmahatyā, 'So be it.' He then skillfully removed Indra's sin of Brahmin-killing (brahmahatyā)."
ततः स्वयंभुवा ध्यातस्तत्र वह्निर्महात्मना ।
ब्रह्माणमुपसंगम्य ततो वचनमब्रवीत् ॥२७॥
27. tataḥ svayaṁbhuvā dhyātastatra vahnirmahātmanā ,

27. tataḥ svayambhuvā dhyātaḥ tatra vahniḥ mahātmanā

27. tataḥ mahātmanā svayambhuvā vahniḥ tatra dhyātaḥ (āsīt)
(saḥ vahniḥ) brahmāṇam upasaṅgamya tataḥ vacanam abravīt
27. Then, Agni (Vahni) was invoked there by the great-souled Self-born (Svayambhū, Brahmā). Having approached Brahmā, he then spoke these words.
प्राप्तोऽस्मि भगवन्देव त्वत्सकाशमरिंदम ।
यत्कर्तव्यं मया देव तद्भवान्वक्तुमर्हति ॥२८॥
28. prāpto'smi bhagavandeva tvatsakāśamariṁdama ,

28. prāptaḥ asmi bhagavan deva tvatsakāśam arindama

28. arindama deva bhagavan,
(aham) tvatsakāśam prāptaḥ asmi deva,
mayā yat kartavyam,
tat bhavān vaktum arhati
28. O divine Lord (bhagavan), conqueror of enemies (arindama)! I have arrived in your presence. O divine one (deva), you should speak of what duty is to be performed by me.
ब्रह्मोवाच ।
बहुधा विभजिष्यामि ब्रह्महत्यामिमामहम् ।

29. brahmā uvāca aham imām brahmahatyām bahudhā vibhajiṣyāmi
adya śakrasya vimokṣārtham me caturbhāgam pratīccha
29. Brahmā said, "I will now divide this sin of brahminicide (brahmahatyā) in various ways for Indra's liberation (vimokṣa). Please accept a quarter share from me."
अग्निरुवाच ।
मम मोक्षस्य कोऽन्तो वै ब्रह्मन्ध्यायस्व वै प्रभो ।

30. agniḥ uvāca he brahman he prabho he lokapūjita mama mokṣasya kaḥ antaḥ vai? vai dhyāyasva.
aham etat tattvataḥ vijñātum icchāmi.
30. Agni said, "What indeed is the limit of my liberation (mokṣa), O Brahmā? O Lord, please do consider this. O you who are revered by the worlds, I truly wish to understand this."
ब्रह्मोवाच ।
यस्त्वां ज्वलन्तमासाद्य स्वयं वै मानवः क्वचित् ।

31. brahmā uvāca he vahne yaḥ mānavaḥ kvacit tamovṛtaḥ svayam
jvalantam tvām āsādya bījauṣadhirasaiḥ na yakṣyati
31. Brahmā said, "O Agni, if ever a human being, enveloped by ignorance, approaches you who are blazing, and does not perform a Vedic ritual (yajña) with offerings of seed and herb essences for you - "
तमेषा यास्यति क्षिप्रं तत्रैव च निवत्स्यति ।
ब्रह्महत्या हव्यवाह व्येतु ते मानसो ज्वरः ॥३२॥

32. This very brahminicide (brahmahatyā) will swiftly go to that man and reside there. O Havyavāha (Agni), let your mental distress (jvara) depart.

33. Bhishma said: Thus addressed, the venerable fire god, who consumes offerings to gods and ancestors (havyakavyabhuk), accepted that statement of the Grandfather (Brahmā), and so, O Lord, it came to pass.

34. tataḥ pitāmahaḥ vṛkṣauṣadhitṛṇam samāhūya,

34. Then, having summoned the trees, herbs, and grasses, the Grandfather (Brahmā) began, O great king, to speak about this matter.
ततो वृक्षौषधितृणं तथैवोक्तं यथातथम् ।

35. Then, O king, the trees, herbs, and grasses, having been addressed truly and precisely, and distressed as if on fire, spoke this to Brahmā.

36. lokapitāmaha,
asmākam brahmahatyātaḥ kaḥ antaḥ? svabhāvanihatān asmān punaḥ hantum na arhasi
36. “O Grandfather of the worlds, what is the end for us from the sin of brahmin-killing (brahmahatyā)? You ought not to kill us again, us who are already inherently prone to death by our very intrinsic nature (svabhāva).”

37. deva vayam agnim tathā śītam ca pavana īritam

37. O Lord, we constantly endure fire, as well as cold, and rain driven by the wind; likewise, we endure cutting and splitting.

38. trilokeśa adya vayam bhavataḥ śāsanāt imām

38. O Lord of the three worlds, by your command, we shall now accept this sin of Brahman-slaying. May you (Lord) consider (our) liberation (mokṣa).

40. Bhishma said: 'Then, after the aggregate of trees, herbs, and grasses had been thus addressed by the great soul (Brahma), it (the aggregate) worshipped Brahma and quickly returned from whence it came.'

41. O Bhārata, then the god, the grandfather of the worlds (Brahmā), having called the Apsarasas, spoke with sweet words, as if consoling them.

42. O excellent ladies, this sin of brahminicide (brahmahatyā) has come from Indra. As I have instructed you, indeed accept its fourth share.

46. Then, that divine being, the creator of the three worlds and one of great ascetic power (tapas), once more concentrated his mind upon the waters. And as soon as he had meditated upon them, they immediately manifested.

55. Thus, O king (janādhipa), the sin of Brahmin-killing (brahmahatyā) was incurred by Shakra (Indra). Having obtained permission from his grandfather (Brahma), he then performed an Ashwamedha (Vedic ritual, yajña).

56. Indeed, O great king (mahārāja), it is heard that the sin of Brahmin-killing (brahmahatyā) was incurred by Vasava (Indra). Thereafter, he attained purification through the Ashwamedha (Vedic ritual, yajña).

58. pārtha vṛtrasya rudhirāt ca eva khukhuṇḍāḥ jajñire

58. O Pārtha, indeed, Khukhuṇḍās were born from the blood of Vṛtra. They are not to be eaten by the twice-born (dvijāti), nor by those initiated into Vedic rituals, nor by ascetics (tapodhana).
सर्वावस्थं त्वमप्येषां द्विजातीनां प्रियं कुरु ।

59. kurunandana tvam api eṣām dvijātīnām sarvāvastham

59. O delight of the Kurus (kurunandana), you should always act favorably towards these twice-born (dvijāti). For indeed, these are renowned as gods on earth.

60. O descendant of Kuru, in this manner, the great Asura Vṛtra was slain by Indra, who, with subtle intelligence and immeasurable power, employed a pre-planned stratagem (upāya).

61. kauravya tvam api evam pṛthivyām aparājitaḥ

61. Thus, you too, O scion of Kuru, will be unconquered on earth, just like the god Śatakratu (Indra), the slayer of enemies.

62. But those who recite this divine story of Indra on every festive occasion among Brahmins, they will not incur sin.

63. Thus, this extremely wonderful and great deed (karma) of Indra, concerning Vṛtra, has been narrated to you, O dear one. What more do you wish to hear?
