Verse 29

²⁴The serpent, shut in, left the city and came out after him; and when he went the city fell apart behind him and went back to what it was made of. ²⁵Dragged off by force by the yavana, who was the stronger, and entered by darkness, he did not find the friend, the well-wisher who had been with him from the first. ²⁶The animals of sacrifice, whom he had put to death without pity, remembering that cruelty of his, cut him with axes in their anger. ²⁷Sunk in a darkness that has no far shore, his memory gone, fouled by his clinging to a woman, he went through pain for endless years. ²⁸Holding to her still in his mind, he became after that a woman of the finest kind, in the house of Vidarbha, that lion among kings.

²⁹Malayadhvaja the Pandya, taker of enemy cities, beat the kshatriyas in battle and married her, the daughter of Vidarbha, who was the prize of that valour.
