We know, O foremost of brāhmaṇas, best among divine seers, that Indrāṇī has come for refuge to your dwelling, and that you have granted her assurance of safety.

Nahuṣa, the radiant king of the gods, is said to be superior to Indra; let this noble lady choose him as her husband—she of graceful ascent, of excellent complexion.

I do not wish to accept Nahuṣa as my husband, though he is powerful. I have come to you for refuge, O brāhmaṇa; protect me from a great fear.
