Kill that hero, O you of great arms, like Vasava slaying the Asura Namuchi. There is no need of showing any compassion here, thinking that he is your maternal uncle. Observing the duties of a Kshatriya, slay the king of the Madras.
जहि चैनं महाबाहो वासवो नमुचिं यथा॥ न चैवात्र दया कार्या मातुलोऽयं ममेति वै। क्षत्रधर्मं पुरस्कृत्य जहि मद्रजनेश्वरम्॥
