कुटिलाक्ष उवाच देव त्वदाज्ञया दत्तं सैन्यं नगररक्षणे / दुर्मदः प्रेषितः पूर्वं दुष्टां तां ललितां प्रति
kuṭilākṣa uvāca deva tvadājñayā dattaṃ sainyaṃ nagararakṣaṇe / durmadaḥ preṣitaḥ pūrvaṃ duṣṭāṃ tāṃ lalitāṃ prati
Kuṭilākṣa said: “O Deva, by your command the army was granted for the guarding of the city. Earlier, Durmada was first dispatched against that wicked Lalitā.”
