born on a heap of inauspicious ashes; in a place where the darkness has been dispelled by the fire emitted from the open mouths of howling inauspicious jackals; a place filled with human skulls, giving forth the speech of the wind through the holes in them; a place avoided with all its surroundings by people frightened by ghosts which cause tumult and stinking with the stench of burning flesh, Oh, son, when there is no way to rear you here in the cemetery near the enemy's city and in the absence of any relatives, how are you going to grow to manhood) ?) 5. The condition of Vijayā who was in the cemetery.

(The lady bedecked with radiant ornaments who dwelt in a mansion which touched the sky, like a divine lady, is now alone in the cemetery full of white skulls, as if to show the evil results of the sin the soul undergoes, about which people have read in books.) Kc.
jivānām papavaicittrim śrutavantaḥ śrutau pură / paśye yur adhunetiva śrikalpābhūd akimcana 1/2
(The lady who is like goddess Lakşmi became helpless, as if she meant to show 2 the world, the manifold outcomes of sins, as they have learnt from books.) 6. The description of the army which went to retrieve the cows of the cowherds which were stolen by the hunters. Cc.

(The army with the sound of conches which were born in the sea, spread all over like the clouds which go on a procession causing the earth to bend.) Gc.
namayanti bhuvam unnamayanti divam vistarayanti ca disam pratasthe. (Having caused the earth to bend and the sky to rise and the quarter to be broadened the army went for war).) 7. The description of the beauty of Govinda, the daughter of Govinda, the chief of the cowherds.
