Sanskrit Text

प्रमथ्य चाश्रमात्तस्माद्धोमधेन्वास्तदा बलात् जहार वत्सं क्रोशन्त्या बभञ्ज महाद्रुमान्

English Translation

When he came to the hermitage, he was hospitably received by the Rishi's wife. But proud of prowess, he was not pleased with the reception. By force and in defiance of all resistance, he seized and carried off from the hermitage the chief cow whose milk supplied the sacred Ghee, not at all heeding the loud lowing of her calf. And he wantongly pulled down the trees of the forest.
