(Whether he is Vāsudeva, the lord of the city of corpses, or the son of Kuntī, or Janamejaya---
seizing you by the mass of your hair, I will carry you off, like Duḥśāsana [carried off] Sītā! [12])
Parasite---Vasantasenā! Do not make my heart unacquainted with fear everywhere. See---
The night is familiar with its darkness to me by reason of my bad conduct;
river crossings have been crossed by me before at times of intense blackness.
Though this should certainly not be spoken in the presence of a young woman,
the guards left alive in the market-squares are my witnesses. (13)
