3.60

sa jātaḥ ko 'py āsīn madana-ripuṇā mūrdhni dhavalaṃ
kapālaṃ yasyoccair vinihitam alaṅkāra-vidhaye |
nṛbhiḥ prāṇa-trāṇa-pravaṇa-matibhiḥ kaiścid adhunā
namadbhiḥ kaḥ puṃsām ayam atula-darpa-jvara-bharaḥ ||

He alone was someone truly born, whose white skull / was placed aloft by the foe of Madana upon his head as an ornament. / Now, among men bowed before by a few folk / whose minds are bent only on saving their lives, what is this burden of feverish, incomparable pride?
