Sanskrit Text

श्वपाकवन्म्लेच्छगणान्हत्वा चान्यान्पृथग्विधान् अज्ञानान्मूढवद्ब्रह्मन्पुत्रदारधनेप्सया

English Translation

Like Chandala, slaying numerous Mlechchas and diverse other warriors, who however are all engaged in performing the duties of their order, moved to the deed by folly and ignorance, O Brahmana and by the desire of benefiting your family and son, indeed for the sake of your only son indeed slaying all like one ignorant of his duties and disregarding your own avocation why do you not feel ashamed?
