The Life of Ballālasena 2.7.14

2.7.14

valadevasya vākyasya procuśca daṇḍyatāṃ gireḥ /
evaṃ vijñāya rājāsāvapamānaṃ purodhasaḥ /
manyunā sa prajajvāla vahninā paṭalaṃ yathā //

[Confirming] Valadeva's words, they said: “The [follower of] Giri must be punished!”
Having thus learned of the insult to his domestic priest,
the king blazed up with wrath, like a thatch with fire.
