TRANSLATION

King Indra replied: When I killed Visvaripa, I received exten-
sive sinful reactions, but I was favored by the women, land, trees
and water, and therefore I was able to divide the sin among them.
But now if I kill Vrtrasura, another brahmana, how shall I free
myself from the sinful reactions?
