Verse 31

³¹Kill him, kill him. He is a wrongdoer, cruel by nature. Left alive he will make ashes of the world before long, and surely. ³²This ill-behaved man does not deserve the high seat of a god among men, reviling as he does, and without shame, Visnu who is lord over sacrifice. ³³Who would revile him, except this one inauspicious man Vena, who came into such lordship as this only by having a share of that grace? ³⁴So resolved to kill, the sages, their anger grown full, struck Vena down with cries of hum; he had been struck down already by his slander of the Unfallen. ³⁵When the sages had gone back to their hermitage, Sunitha, grieving, kept her son's body from decay by knowledge and by yoga.

³⁶One day those sages bathed in the water of the Sarasvati, poured their offerings into the fires, sat down on the bank of the river and made good talk.
