सखा शक्रस्य संयुक्तः कस्यायं नेप्सितॊ भवेत

Translations
English Translation
I hold this sentiment with little value, oh sage. If even a friend of Indra’s is unsure of the truth, then why should I accept it without questioning? This shows a human tendency to question authority and divine wisdom.
हिंदी अनुवाद
मैं इस भावना को बहुत कम महत्व देता हूँ, हे ऋषि। यदि इंद्र के एक मित्र भी सत्य को लेकर निश्चित नहीं हैं, तो मैं इसे बिना प्रश्न किए क्यों स्वीकार करूं? यह स्वाभाविक अनिष्टता को दर्शाता है।
