viluptaśeṣāṅgatayā prayātān nirāśrayatvādiva kaṇṭhadeśam /
prāṇāṃstyajantaṃ tanayaṃ nirīkṣya kathaṃ na pāpaḥ śatadhā vrajāmi //
King (to himself, with tears).
Why do I not burst into a hundred pieces through sorrow, as I behold my son giving up his life, which, the rest of his body being destroyed, has retreated to his throat as to its last remaining stronghold?
