The kings and others, who were capable of protecting my fathers, did not protect them, neglecting to perform their duty by giving themselves up to the pleasures of life. Therefore, I have just cause to be enraged. I am the lord of creation, I am incapable of obeying your command.
राजभिश्चैश्वरैश्चैव यदि वै पितरो मम। शक्तैर्न शकितास्त्रातुमिष्टं मत्वेह जीवितम्॥ अत एषामहं क्रुद्धो लोकानामीश्वरो ह्ययम्। भवतां च वचो नालमहं समभिवर्तितुम्॥
