‘O Demons! Have you retired here after encountering the enemy in a tough battle or have you come here after paying your homage to the Devas on being bewildered by their army? Undoubtedly the Devas have committed outrage on us as far as they could Though you are highly fortunate and exceedingly powerful, you are now prepared to retire into a mountainous forest Alas! How great is the power of Kâla? Time is certainly unconquerable See! this our fort so very impregnable has been beseiged today—5 8
