महाभारत 3.124.19-24

देवनागरी

ततः कृत्या समभवद् ऋषेस् तस्य तपोबलात् ॥
मदो नाम महावीर्यो बृहत्कायो महासुरः ॥
शरीरं यस्य निर्देष्टुम् अशक्यं तु सुरासुरैः ॥
तस्यास्यम् अभवद् घोरं तीक्ष्णाग्रदशनं महत् ॥
हनुर् एका स्थिता तस्य भूमाव् एका दिवं गता ॥
चतस्र आयता दंष्ट्रा योजनानां शतं शतम् ॥
इतरे त्व् अस्य दशना बभूवुर् दशयोजनाः ॥
प्राकारसदृशाकाराः शूलाग्रसमदर्शनाः ॥
बाहू पर्वतसंकाशाव् आयताव् अयुतं समौ ॥
नेत्रे रविशशिप्रख्ये वक्त्रम् अन्तकसंनिभम् ॥
लेलिहञ् जिह्वया वक्त्रं विद्युच्चपललोलया ॥
व्यात्ताननो घोरदृष्टिर् ग्रसन्न् इव जगद् बलात् ॥
स भक्षयिष्यन् संक्रुद्धः शतक्रतुम् उपाद्रवत् ॥
महता घोररूपेण लोकाञ् शब्देन नादयन् ॥

अनुवाद

Then, by the power of that sage's tapas, a kritya arose: a great asura named Mada, huge of body and of tremendous might, whose form neither gods nor asuras could describe. His mouth was terrible and vast, with sharp-edged teeth; one jaw rested upon the earth, the other reached into the sky. Four long fangs extended a hundred yojanas each, and his other teeth were ten yojanas long, resembling ramparts and spear-points in appearance. His arms, like mountains, stretched out ten thousand, equal in length; his eyes were like the sun and moon, his face like Death itself. He licked his mouth with a tongue as restless as lightning; with gaping jaws and a terrible gaze, he seemed to be devouring the world by force. Enraged, wishing to devour Shatakratu, he rushed at him in his vast and terrible form, making the worlds resound with his roar.

भाष्य

Mada appears as the embodied force of intoxication and pride. What Indra was accustomed to hold as power now stands before him as a threat that has slipped beyond control.
