Urubhanga 39: rājā

39

pūrvaṃ na jānāmi gadābhighāta-
rujāmidānīṃ tu samarthayāmi |
yanme prakāśīkṛtamūrdhajāni
raṇaṃ praviṣṭānyavarodhanāni || 38 ||

Earlier I did not feel the pain of the mace-blow;
now, however, I can fully comprehend it,
since my harem women have entered the battlefield
with their hair exposed to view! || 38
