sa evam utsikta-madena vidvisa

 drdham pralabdho bhagavan apam patih

rosam samuttham samayan svaya dhiya

 vyavocad angopasamam gata vayam

 

Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

Thus mocked by an enemy whose vanity knew no bounds, the worshipful lord of the waters waxed angry, but by dint of his reason he managed to curb the anger that had sprung up in him, and he replied: O dear one, we have now desisted from warfare, having grown too old for combat.

 

Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

As we see, warmongering materialists always create fighting without reason.
