Alas, how shall I ride my horse? How return to my capital? On account of the Agnishtuta sacrifice I have got a hundred sons all gifted with great strength, and all children of my own loins! Alas, thus changed, what shall I say to them? What shall I say to my wives, my relatives and wellwishers, and my subjects of the city and the provinces?
आरोहिष्ये कथं त्वश्वं कथं यास्यामि वै पुरम्। इष्टेनाग्निष्टुता चापि पुत्राणां शतमौरसम्॥ जातं महाबलानां मे तान् प्रवक्ष्यामि किं त्वहम्। दारेषु चात्मकीयषु पौरजानपदेषु च॥
