और सब प्राणी भी तेरी सदा रहनेवाली अपकीर्तिका कथन अर्थात निंदा करेंगे। वह अपकीर्ति सम्मानित मनुष्यके लिये मृत्युसे भी बढ़कर दुःखदायी होती है।Commentary
The world also will ever recount thy infamy which will survive thee for a long time. Death is really preferable to disgrace to one who has been honoured as a great hero and mighty warrior with noble alities.
