**Verse 9:** Filled with rage, he roared like a lion, shaking the forest and causing the earth to tremble.
**Verse 10:** He spoke, intoxicated with anger, "Who is the sinner, tell me, who killed my brother, who was sleeping, his life like a boundless ocean?"
**Verse 11:** "Even in the midst of the sleeping, the intoxicated, the careless, the children, the women, the ascetics, and the cows, who would dare to strike a cruel, wicked soul?"
