He who tells me-'Give your Gandiva to another,' I would cut his head off, such is my secret vow. Now that this king of immeasurable prowess has told me those words in your presence, O Govinda, I won't forgive him. I will, therefore, put to the sword this pious king.
अन्यस्मै देहि गाण्डीवमिति मां योऽभिचोदयेत्॥ भिन्द्यामहं तस्य शिर इत्युपांशुव्रत मम। तदुक्तं मम चानेन राज्ञामितपराक्रम॥ समक्षं तव गोविन्द न तत् क्षन्तुमिहोत्सहे। तस्मादेनं वधिष्यामि राजानं धर्मभीरुकम्॥
