3.21.2

saṅgatāḥ pṛthivīpālāḥ sasainyāḥ saparigrahāḥ |
upaviṣṭāśca mañceṣu yoddhukāmā mahābalāḥ ||

“The powerful kings, all, have come here on intention that they would fight and therefore they are all attended with their armies and followers respectively; and they are now sitting on their respective daises in the Svayamvara hall. If I go now and tell them that my daughter S’as’ikalâ is not willing to come of her own accord in the hall, the evil minded kings will certainly kill me out of their wrath.
