bhoḥ! vṛkṣavāṭikāpakṣadvāre sandhiṃ chittvā praviṭṭho'smi. yāvadidānīṃ catuḥśālamupasarpāmi . (sanirvedaṃ vicintya) bhoḥ!
kāmaṃ nīcamidaṃ vadantu vibudhāḥ supteṣu yadvartate
viśvasteṣu hi vañcanāparibhavaḥ śauryaṃ na kārkaśyatā.
svādhīnā vacanīyatā'pi tu varaṃ baddho na sevāñjaliḥ
mārgaścaṣa narendrasauptikavadhe pūrvaṃ kṛto drauṇinā..6..

Ah! Having made a breach at the side gate of the orchard, I have entered. Now I will approach the quadrangle. (Reflecting with disgust) Ah!
Let the wise say this is low, as it takes place against sleeping men— / for treachery against the trusting is violence, not valor. / Yet even blame is better if one is one's own master, than hands joined in servitude; / and this path was trodden before by the son of Droṇa in slaying kings while they slept.
