दमंघोषसुतोऽमर्षी 'गोपालः कुलपांसनः ।
स्वैरवर्ती गुणैहींनः सपर्या कथमर्हति' ।

" A cowherd and a blot on his family,
one living a reckless life and bereft of all
good qualities, how does Krishna deserve
honour? " These and similar unhappy
words, did the irate Sisupala, son of
Damaghosha, utter, his good fortune
coming to an end.
 
ततश्चैद्यस्त्वसंभ्रान्तो जगृहे खड्गचर्मणी ।
भर्त्सयन् कृष्णपक्षीयान् राज्ञस्ससि [भारत] ॥
 
Then the Chedi king (Sisupala) calmly
seized his sword and armour, condemning
the kings in the assembly who had taken
the side of Krishna.
 
तावदुत्थाय भगवान् स्वान्निवार्य स्वयं रुषा।
-शिरः क्षुरान्तचक्रेण जहारापततो रिपोः ॥
 
Rising up in the meantime, the Lord
drew aside His friends, and in His anger,
severed with His razor-edged discus, the
head of the enemy (Sisupala) who rushed
at Him.
