The king said: O Vamadeva, let those that are armed with bright lances and swords and that know you to be a Brahmana who desires to take life in thought, word and deed, at my command cut you down with all your disciples,
राजोवाच ये त्वां विदुर्ब्राह्मणं वामदेव वाचा हन्तुं मनसा कर्मणा वा। ते त्वां सशिष्यमिह पातयन्तु मद्वाक्यनुन्नाः शितशूलासिहस्ता:॥
