स्वदत्तकृतसाक्षी यो द्वितीय इव पावकः। लब्धसंज्ञा विचेष्टन्ते लोका यस्य महात्मनः॥ यस्य नित्यं त्रयो लोका विद्रवन्ति भयार्दिताः। तं कथं राक्षसेन्द्रोऽसौ स्वयमेव गमिष्यति॥

English Meaning
How can this lord of Raksasas, of himself, go to him who, resembling another fire, bear to the gifts and acts (of persons), that high-souled one of whom attaining consciousness, people put forth their activity; and; afflicted with the fear of whom these three worlds fall away?
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
