शिरो गृहीत्वा केशेषु कबन्ध: सम प्रदृश्यते । उद्यम्य च शितं खड््गं रुधिरेण परिप्लुतम्,वहाँ कोई-कोई कबन्ध (धड़) ऐसा दिखायी दिया, जो एक हाथमें शत्रुके कटे हुए मस्तकको केशसहित पकड़े हुए और दूसरे हाथमें खूनसे रँगी हुई तीखी तलवार उठाये खड़ा था
Transliteration
śiro gṛhītvā keśeṣu kabandhaḥ sama pradṛśyate | udyamya ca śitaṃ khaḍgaṃ rudhireṇa pariplutam |
Translation
അവിടെ ഇവിടെയായി ഒരു കബന്ധം കാണാമായിരുന്നു—ഒരു കൈയിൽ ശത്രുവിന്റെ മുടിയോടുകൂടിയ ഛേദിച്ച തല പിടിച്ചും, മറ്റേ കൈയിൽ രക്തത്തിൽ മുക്കിയ മൂർച്ചയുള്ള വാൾ ഉയർത്തിയും നിൽക്കുന്ന പോലെ.
