When Atri Muni saw that the son of King Pṛthu did not kill Indra but returned deceived by him, Atri Muni again instructed him to kill the heavenly King because he thought that Indra had become the lowliest of all demigods due to his impeding the execution of King Pṛthu’s sacrifice.

Translation
Atri again ordered the son of Pṛthu to kill him after he had refrained from doing so. “Boy! Kill the destroyer of sacrifice, great Indra, lowest of the devatās!” Hantave means “to kill.”
