Ask this wicked-minded one, whence is he? And what led him to ravage the grove, and what was his object in brow-beating the Rākşasas? And what has been his purpose in entering my metropolis incapable of being subdued; and what for did he also fight (with my retainers?) Do you ask the wicked-minded one about this.
दुरात्मा पृच्छयतामेष कुतः किं वास्य कारणम्। वनभङ्गे च कोऽस्यार्थो राक्षसानां च तर्जने ॥ मत्पुरीमप्रधृष्यां वै गमने किं प्रयोजनम्। आयोधने वा किं कार्यं पृच्छयतामेष दुर्मतिः॥
