Again, we went to the island of Siṃhala for the sake of victory.
अतस्त्वां प्रति सुप्रीता वयं भगिनिकिंकराः
Therefore, being very pleased with you, we became attendants to our sister.
गेहं निवासयामास स्वकीयं प्रेमविह्वला
Overwhelmed with love, she settled us in her own house.
सभायां वीरसेनस्य राज्ञा तेनैव सत्कृतः
In the assembly of King Vīrasena, he was honored by that very king.
निष्कासिताश्च ते सर्वे राज्ञाह्लादादयः खलाः । चौरितो नृपतेः कोशो हीनजात्यैर्महाबलैः
All those wicked men, the king's flatterers, were expelled; the royal treasury was plundered by those of low birth but great strength.
तदा तु कुंठिताः सर्वे शिरीषाख्यपुरेऽवसन्
Then, all of them, being subdued, dwelled in the city called Śirīṣa.
चंद्रावल्याश्च वै दोलां गृहीत्वा स गमिष्यति
And he will depart, taking the swing of Candrāvalī.
इति श्रुत्वा वीरसेनो ज्ञात्वा तत्सत्यकारणम्
Hearing this, Vīrasena, realizing the true reason,
वचनं प्राह भोः पुत्र बंधनं कुरु तस्य वै
spoke these words: 'O son, bind him indeed.'
भोजनाय ददौ तस्यै ज्ञात्वा चन्द्रावली तदा
Then Candrāvalī, knowing this, gave her food.
कामसेनश्च कुपितो गृहीत्वा दंडवेतसम् 3.3.22.
And Kāmasena, enraged, took up a staff of cane.
गृहीत्वा भुजयोस्तं वै बंधनाय समुद्यतः
Seizing him by the arms, he prepared to bind him.
पुत्रानाज्ञापयामास तस्य बंधनहेतवे
He ordered his sons for the purpose of binding him.
सेनामध्ये समागम्य महद्युदमचीकरत् अहोरात्रमभूद्युद्धं दारुणं रोमहर्षणम्
Meeting in the midst of the army, a great battle was fought; the terrible and hair-raising fight lasted day and night.
हता लक्षं महाशूरा उदयेन महाबलाः
A hundred thousand mighty heroes were slain by Udaya, who was of great strength.
दृष्ट्वा पराजितं सैन्यं सप्त पुत्रा महाबलाः
Seeing their army defeated, the seven sons, mighty in strength,
स वीरो बिंदुलारूढो भूमौ कृत्वा गजासनान्
That hero, mounted on Bindula, having placed elephant seats on the ground,
इति श्रुत्वा वीरसेनः सूर्यभक्तिपरायणः तेनास्त्रेणैव कृष्णांशः सहयो मूर्च्छितो भुवि
Hearing this, Vīrasena, devoted to the worship of the Sun, with that very weapon, Kṛṣṇāṃśa, his ally, fell unconscious on the ground.
वीरसेनस्तु तं बद्ध्वा मोचयित्वा सुतान्वधूम्
Vīrasena, having bound him, released his sons and daughter-in-law.
हतरोषास्तदा वीराः कृष्णांशस्य ययुर्दिशः
Then, enraged, the heroes went in the direction of Kṛṣṇāṃśa.
महीपतिं महाधूर्तं मत्वा राजाब्रवीदिदम् 3.3.22.
Considering the king to be a great trickster, the king spoke these words.
बद्ध्वा स्वभगिनीकांतं स्वबंधुं मोचयाशु वै
Bind your sister's beloved and quickly release your own kinsman.
शीघ्रं गत्वा च नगरीं रुरोध बलवान्रुषा सौरमस्त्रमुपादाय दाहनार्थं समुद्यतः
Swiftly going to the city, he besieged it with force and anger, taking up the Saurama weapon, prepared for burning.
सज्जीभूते तदस्त्रे तु ब्रह्मानंदो महाबलः
When that weapon was made ready, Brahmānanda, of great strength, rejoiced.
दृष्ट्वा भयान्वितो भूपस्तमेव शरणं ययौ
Seeing this, the king became fearful and sought refuge in him.
धूर्तवाक्येन हे भूप मद्बंधुर्बाधितस्त्वया अतस्त्वं भगिनीयुक्तं स्वसुतं देहि मे नृप
With deceitful words: 'O king, my kinsman has been harmed by you; therefore, give me your son, joined with your sister, O ruler.'
इति श्रुत्वा च नृपतिर्वचनं प्राह नम्रधीः
Hearing this, the king, humble in mind, spoke.
इत्युक्त्वा वीरसेनश्च सुतं चंद्रावलीं तथा
Thus, Vīrasena gave his son and also Candrāvalī.
ब्रह्मानन्दोऽपि बलवान्कृष्णांशेन समन्वितः
Brahmānanda, powerful and accompanied by Kṛṣṇāṃśa.
मलना स्वसुतं दृष्ट्वा प्रेमविह्वलकंपिता
