वाग्बलं त्यज दुर्बुद्धे क्रूरकर्मन्हि राक्षस। अथ कस्माद्वदस्येतत्संपादय सुकर्मणा ॥
vāgbalaṃ tyaja durbuddhe krūrakarmanhi rākṣasa| atha kasmādvadasyetatsaṃpādaya sukarmaṇā ||
English Meaning
Leave off your strength of tongue, O you of perverse sense, O Räkşasa, O you of crooked ways! Wherefore did you speak thus? Bring all this to pass in worthy deed.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
