The Battle between the Rākṣasas and Yama’s Attendant-Messengers
प्रविवेश गृहं स्वं तु सम्भ्रमेणेदृशेन तु ॥ आननं तु समुत्प्रोष्छ्य सङ्ग्रामे स्वेदबिन्दुवत् ॥
praviveśa gṛhaṃ svaṃ tu sambhrameṇedṛśena tu || ānanaṃ tu samutproṣchya saṅgrāme svedabinduvat ||
Baginda memasuki rumahnya sendiri dalam kegelisahan yang demikian; lalu mengangkat wajahnya, tampak seolah-olah di medan perang, seperti seseorang yang diselaputi titisan peluh.
