There, seeing her beloved, a woman, pierced by the arrows of enemies, herself became lifeless, though her body was not wounded by the arrows of love. ||293|| Seeing her beloved, whose limbs were not marked by wounds, another woman, not knowing, thought that the wounds were inflicted by herself, and, realizing this, she became lifeless. ||294|| O beloved, you were very dear to Vira-Lakshmi, and therefore, even though I stopped you, you went to her. Now, you are in this state because of the cruel wounds of Vira-Lakshmi. Saying this, another woman died. ||295|| Beloved, I was coming with you at that time, but you stopped me and came here to accept Kirti. Although you knew that Kirti is always roaming around (promiscuous), you were deluded into thinking that she is pure. Now, see, Kirti has remained there. Alas, do men know the heart or separation? Saying this, another woman, filled with jealousy, went to the path of her beloved, that is, she died seeing her beloved dead. ||296-297|| O beloved, why did I, a fool, not come with you even though I was stopped? Do these low-born courtesans (celestial nymphs) take you away while I am near you? Well, what is gone is gone. Can't I still go there and snatch you from them? Saying this, a woman with a sweet voice followed her beloved, that is, she also died. ||298-299|| A warrior, whose whole body was pierced by arrows, and whose life was hanging by a thread, was waiting for his beloved to come. ||300|| Seeing her beloved, whose lips were bitten in anger, another woman, filled with momentary anger and jealousy towards Vira-Lakshmi, gave up her life. ||301|| A warrior, whose heart was pierced by an arrow, thinking that his beloved was in his heart, said, "Alas, this noble woman is dead. Someone has taken away her life." ||302||
