Having said these words aside, Pujani, with her talons, pierced the eyes of the prince, and finding some comfort from that act of vengeance, once more said,-A sinful deed, committed with deliberation, assails the doer without any loss of time.

इत्युक्त्वा चरणाभ्यां नेत्रे नृपसुतस्य सा। भित्त्वा स्वस्था तत इदं पूजनी वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥ इच्छयेह कृतं पापं सद्यस्तं चोपसर्पति। कृतं प्रतिकृतं येषां न नश्यति शुभाशुभम्॥
