Verse 26

²³Diti, whose sons had been killed by Visnu, who stood at Indra's back, blazed with a rage that grief had lit, and turned it over in her mind. ²⁴When shall I have the killer of brothers put to death and lie down easy: that harsh one, taking his pleasure in the senses, hard-hearted, wicked? ²⁵The body of one who is spoken of as a lord ends under the names worm, dung, ash. What does a man who harms living things for its sake know of his own good, when hell is what comes of it? ²⁶Indra expects this standing of his to last, and his mind is swollen with it. Let me have a son by whom that pride of his may be dried up.
