O gods, the demon Tāraka has flourished, thanks to my words of blessings. His destruction through me does not seem proper.

ततो नैव वधो योग्यो यतो वृद्धिमुपागतः ।। विष वृक्षोऽपि संवर्ध्य स्वयं छेत्तुमसांप्रतम्।।२२।।

Improper is the destruction through that source wherefrom he has flourished. Even a poisonous tree tended and nurtured by one cannot be cut and felled down by oneself.
