your sacrifice, you later mercilessly severed his heads from his
body the way one butchers an animal.

TRANSLATION
Indra, you are bereft of all shame, mercy, glory and good for-
tune. Deprived of these good qualities by the reactions of your
fruitive activities, you are to be condemned even by the man-eaters
[Raksasas]. Now I shall pierce your body with my trident, and after
you die with great pain, even fire will not touch you; only the
vultures will eat your body.
