दीनवक्त्रेक्षणाः श्यामा मृग्यः सिंहवशा इव। काचिच्चिन्तयती तत्र किं नु मां भक्षयिष्यति॥ काचिद्दध्यौ सुदुःखार्ता अपि मां मारयेदयम्।

English Meaning
The countenance and eyes, of those beautiful damsels, brought under the subjection of the tennecked demon, and afflicted with sorrow, looked poorly like a hind attacked by a lion. Some thought, “Will he eat me up" and another, stricken with sorrow, thought, “Will he destroy me?"
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
