Who are you, who in a world under my protection kill the weak by force, being strong? By your dress, like an actor in a part, you are a god among men; by your act you are none of the twice-born. You who, now that Krsna has gone far off along with the wielder of the Gandiva, strike in secret at those who should never be grieved for: it is you who are to be grieved for, and you deserve to be killed. And you, white as a lotus stalk, short of your feet and walking upon one: are you some god in the form of a bull, come to make us grieve? Never on this earth, held in the strong arms of the Kuru lords, have the tears of living beings fallen. Yours are the first.
