All the affairs of the monarch have been wrecked by you-cravens in fight, sleek-tongued, following the king (fawning) you have made Lankā contain only the king, the treasury is lean; and the forces have been slain. By the king you have done like foes in the guise of friends.
युद्धे कापुरुषैनित्यं भवद्भिः प्रियवादिभिः। राजानमनुगच्छद्भिः सर्वं कृत्यं विनाशितम्॥ राजशेषा कृता लङ्का क्षीणः कोशो बलं हतम्। राजानमिममासाद्य सुहृच्चिह्नममित्रकम्॥
