    ná nūnám ásti nó śváḥ kás tád veda yád ádbhutam anyásya cittám abhí saṁcaréṇyam utā́dhītaṁ ví naśyati

    We're not sure about today, and tomorrow is uncertain. Who really knows that amazing, mysterious thing? When we try to grasp someone else's thoughts, what we thought we knew clearly just disappears.

    Indra, why do you want to strike us? The Maruts are your brothers; get along with them nicely. Please don't fight and kill us.

    kíṁ no bhrātar agastya sákhā sánn áti manyase vidmā́ hí te yáthā máno 'smábhyam ín ná ditsasi

    Brother Agastya, why do you act like you don't care about us, even though you're our friend? We know how you think; it seems you're not willing to give us anything.
