Shloka 31
दण्डधारवधः | The Slaying of Daṇḍadhāra
Devanagari script
प्रतिविन्ध्यस्ततो राजंस्तोमरं हेम भूषितम् । प्रेषयामास संक्रुद्धश्चित्रस्य वधकाड्क्षया,राजन! तब अत्यन्त क्रोधमें भरे हुए प्रतिविन्ध्यने चित्रके वधकी इच्छासे उसके ऊपर एक सुवर्णभूषित तोमरका प्रहार किया
Transliteration
prativindhyas tato rājan stomaraṃ hema-bhūṣitam | preṣayāmāsa saṃkruddhaś citrasya vadha-kāṅkṣayā ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Then Prativindhya, O King, burning with fierce anger and longing to slay Citra, hurled at him a spear adorned with gold. The moment shows how, in the heat of battle, wrath and the desire to kill drive warriors to decisive, violent action, tightening the spiral of retaliation that eclipses calmer judgment.
