एवं विनाश्य तद्राज्यं स्त्रीगोधनजिघृक्षवः । आवृत्य तस्य नगरीं वज्रबाहोस्तु मागधः
evaṃ vināśya tadrājyaṃ strīgodhanajighṛkṣavaḥ | āvṛtya tasya nagarīṃ vajrabāhostu māgadhaḥ
یوں اُس سلطنت کو پامال کر کے—عورتوں اور گائے کے دھن کی حرص میں—ماغدھ نے وجر باہو کے شہر کو چاروں طرف سے گھیر لیا۔
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.
