English Meaning
Hearing this even, O great king, we have pardoned and not slain him; an unmarried girl should be given away to her husband by her brothers, but that has not been the case, this is merely the result of your vicious actions, wicked-minded as you are. And this you have met with instantly, so the people say.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
