You are certainly exposing yourselves to death and chains! Alas, how unfavourable is the time! Stupefied by mistake you do not see that destruction awaits you! A terrible calamity will overtake you in course of this great Sacrifice! You are blind to it.
वधबन्धं प्रपन्ना वै किं नु कालस्य पर्ययः॥ किंनु मोहान्न पश्यन्ति विनाशं पर्युपस्थितम्। उपस्थितं महाघोरं न बुध्यन्ति महाध्वरे॥
