एवं विनाश्य तद्राज्यं स्त्रीगोधनजिघृक्षवः । आवृत्य तस्य नगरीं वज्रबाहोस्तु मागधः
evaṃ vināśya tadrājyaṃ strīgodhanajighṛkṣavaḥ | āvṛtya tasya nagarīṃ vajrabāhostu māgadhaḥ
ਇਉਂ ਉਸ ਰਾਜ ਨੂੰ ਉਜਾੜ ਕੇ—ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਗੋ-ਧਨ ਦੀ ਲਾਲਸਾ ਨਾਲ—ਮਾਗਧ ਨੇ ਵਜ੍ਰਬਾਹੁ ਦੀ ਨਗਰੀ ਨੂੰ ਚਾਰੋਂ ਪਾਸੇ ਤੋਂ ਘੇਰ ਲਿਆ।
Sūta (continued narration)
Scene: A ravaged countryside; Magadhan forces encircle Vajrabāhu’s city; smoke, frightened citizens, cattle herds being driven; banners and drums of siege.
Greed-driven conquest is portrayed as adharmic; it sets the stage for the righteous duty of defense by the king.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the focus is the encirclement of a royal city in Daśārṇa.
None.
