TRANSLATION
Although Indra was so powerful that he could neutralize the sin-
ful reactions for killing a brahmana, he repentantly accepted the
burden of these reactions with folded hands. He suffered for one
year, and then to purify himself he distributed the reactions for
this sinful killing among the earth, water, trees and women.
