I hope this queen, who is my eldest mother, who is emaciated with (exposure to cold and wind and the toil of walking, and who is now given to the practice of serve austerities, no longer yields to grief for her children of great energy, of all whoin performing the duties of the Kshatriyas, have been killed on the field of battle.
इयं च माता ज्येष्ठा मे शीतवातावकर्शिता। घोरेण तपसा युक्ता देवी कच्चिन्न शोचति॥ हतान् पुत्रान् महावीर्यान् क्षत्रधर्मपरायणान्। नापध्यापति वा कच्चिदस्मान् पापकृतः सदा॥
