अहो सुबलवद्रक्षो वधोपायेषु रज्यते॥ अहो दुर्वृत्तमास्थाय नात्मानं वै जुगुप्सते। सर्वथा सदृशस्तावद्विक्रमोऽस्य दुरात्मनः॥ इदं त्वसदृशं कर्म परदाराभिमर्शनम्। यस्मादेष परक्यासु रमते राक्षसाधमः॥ तस्माद्वै स्त्रीकृतेनैव वधं प्राप्स्यति दुर्मतिः।
aho subalavadrakṣo vadhopāyeṣu rajyate|| aho durvṛttamāsthāya nātmānaṃ vai jugupsate| sarvathā sadṛśastāvadvikramo'sya durātmanaḥ|| idaṃ tvasadṛśaṃ karma paradārābhimarśanam| yasmādeṣa parakyāsu ramate rākṣasādhamaḥ|| tasmādvai strīkṛtenaiva vadhaṃ prāpsyati durmatiḥ|
English Meaning
Oh! highly powerful is this Rākşasa and he is mad after devising the means of destruction. Alas! being engaged in such vile actions, he does not consider himself cursed; he is as powerful as he is vicious. And though the ravishment of another's wife is a greets in, still that vile Rākşasa is enjoying us who belong to others. Therefore this vicious-minded one shall meet with death, by his own actions.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
