Verse 40

⁴⁰His eight younger brothers, Kanka and Nyagrodhaka and the rest, ran at him in great rage, to pay back what was owed for their brother. ⁴¹As they came on so furiously, all set for it, Rohini's son raised his iron bar and killed them, as the lord of beasts kills cattle. ⁴²Drums sounded in the sky. Brahma and Siva and the other great powers, pleased, scattered flowers on him and praised him, and the women danced. ⁴³Their women, great king, in pain at the death of their own, came there beating their heads, with tears in their eyes. ⁴⁴Their husbands lay on the bed of heroes; and the women held them and grieved, and wept aloud in clear voices, letting the sorrow out of them again and again.
