Verse 40

⁴⁰Today I will make the earth without a Kaurava in it. Past bearing it, he stood up with his plough in his hand, as though he were burning the three worlds. ⁴¹With the tip of his plough he tore up the city named for the elephant and dragged it toward the Ganga, past bearing it, meaning to strike. ⁴²Seeing the city swaying like a boat on the water, falling into the Ganga, being dragged along, the Kauravas were thrown into confusion. ⁴³They went to him for refuge with their households, wanting to live; and putting Samba with Laksmana in front of them, with their palms joined, they came to the lord. ⁴⁴Rama, Rama, holder of everything up, we did not know what you can do. We are fools of poor understanding, and you should forgive us our offence.
