[षुक्र] असंशयं माम असुरा दविषन्ति; ये मे शिष्यं नागसं सूदयन्ति अब्राह्मणं कर्तुम इच्छन्ति रौद्रास; ते मां यथा परस्तुतं दानवैर हि अप्य अस्य पापस्य भवेद इहान्तः; कं बरह्महत्या न दहेद अपीन्द्रम ॥ १-७१-३९ ॥
'Vaisampayana continued, "Then, the great sage Kavya, deeply troubled by Devayani's words, exclaimed in anger, 'Indeed, the Asuras intend to harm me, as they kill my disciple who resides with me. These devotees of Rudra aim to strip me of my Brahminhood by implicating me in their heinous act. Surely, such a crime leads to a dreadful conclusion. The sin of killing a Brahmin could even scorch Indra himself."' ॥ 1-71-39 ॥
