Sanskrit: प्रसादं कुरु सुश्रोणि न कालं क्षेप्तुमर्हसि। त्वत्कृते हि मम प्राणा विदीर्यन्ते वरानने॥ त्वां प्राप्य तु वधो वापि पापं वापि सुदारुणम्। भक्तं भजस्व मां भीरु भजमानं सुविह्वलम्॥
English: Be you propitiated with me, O you having a graceful person; do not tarry even for a moment. My heart bursts out for you, O you having a moon-like countenance. For acquiring you I can even take upon myself my own destruction or dreadful iniquity. Do you seek me, O fair ladyI am beside myself for you.
Sanskrit: एवमुक्त्वा तु तां कन्यां दोभ्यां प्राप्य बलादली। विस्फुरन्तीं यथाकामं मैथुनायोपचक्रमे॥ तमनर्थ महाघोरं दण्डः कृत्वा सुदारुणम्। नगरं प्रययावाशु मधुमन्तमनुत्तमम्॥
English: Having said this the king forcibly ravished her. Having perpetrated such a mighty iniquity he speedily returned to his own city Madhumanta.
