chuata ¢µu¢a raghupatihu na dosµu, muni binu kåja karia kata rosµu.
bole citai parasu k∂ orå, re sa¢ha sunehi subhåu na morå.2.

båla brahmacår∂ ati koh∂, bisva bidita chatriyakula droh∂.3.

sahasabåhu bhuja chedanihårå, parasu biloku mahipakumårå.4.
Said Lakmaƒa with a smile, ìListen, holy Sir: to my mind all bows are alike. What
gain or loss can there be in the breaking of a worn-out bow ?î ›r∂ Råma mistook it for
a new one, and at His very touch it broke in two; the Lord of Raghus, therefore, was not
to blame for it either. Why, then, be angry, reverend sir, for no cause?î Casting a glance
at his axe, Para‹uråma replied, ìO foolish child, have you never heard of my temper ?
I slay you not because, as I say, you are a child yet; do you take me for a mere
anchorite, O dullard? I have been a celibate from my very boyhood, but also an irascible
one; and I am known throughout the world as a sworn enemy of the Katriya race. By
the might of my arm I made the earth kingless and bestowed it time after time upon the
Bråhmaƒas. Look at this axe, which lopped off the arms of Sahasrabåhu (the thousandarmed
Kårtav∂rya), O youthful prince. (1ó4)

ìDo not bring woe to your parents, O princely lad, My most cruel axe has
exterminated even unborn offspring in the womb.î (272)

Lakmaƒa smilingly retorted in a mild tone, ìAh, the great sage considers himself
