The man, who is a follower of the worldly path, is a destroyer of the teachings of the great sages, a violator of the principles of Jainism, and a transgressor of the dharma. He does not understand the Kshatriya dharma as taught by the gurus of the lineage. He does not engage in a righteous battle, but in a battle of ego and power. He does not respect boundaries, he does not fear the consequences of his actions. He does not care for peace, he desires conflict. He does not care for the earth, he desires to rain down arrows. He does not bow to you, he bows to the group of monks. He does not offer his body, he offers his sword. O God, brother, he will not give you the city of Podanpur, but I know that in the meantime, the day-jewel (sun) has slipped away, as if the jewel of the song-like woman has been adorned, as if the night has offered it to the setting sun.
He does not desire peace, he desires war. He does not see you, he sees his own strength. He does not follow orders, he follows his own will. He does not understand the Kshatriya dharma as taught by the gurus of the lineage, he does not respect boundaries. He does not engage in a righteous battle, he engages in a battle of ego and power. He does not give up his pride, he gives up his fear. He does not care for the divine, he cares for his own strength. He does not desire peace, he desires conflict. He does not give the earth, he gives a shower of arrows. He does not bow to you, he bows to the group of monks. He does not offer his body, he offers his sword. O God, brother, he will not give you the city of Podanpur, but I know that in the meantime, the day-jewel (sun) has slipped away, as if the jewel of the song-like woman has been adorned, as if the night has offered it to the setting sun.
