SWAYYA
“O Krishna! the Jarasandh whom you had released, he is again demonstrating his strength
You had fought with his extremely large twenty-three military units for twenty-three times,
“And he had ultimately caused you to run away from Matura
That fool has now no shame left in him and has been puffed up with pride.”2308.
