MADHURAVIJAYA M
 
"May the sun of your prowess in battle wipe
off the smile of moon-light from the faces of the drunken
Yavana ladies."
 
64
 
"Dharma is in great distress by being now sub-
jected to the scorching influence of the evil-natured
Yavanas, and earth in consequence looks parched, as
it were; and so may you, by the rain of enemies' blood,
allay the latter's sufferings."
 
"May this sword of yours feast the evil spirits
such as katas, putanas and yātudhānas with the blood
flowing down from the headless trunks of your evil
adversaries."
 
"May you erect many a pillar of triumph in
the middle of Rāmasētu by dealing destruction to the
Turuşka lord who is wedded to nothing but evil do-
ings and who therefore is to be regarded as the thorny
shrub of the three worlds."
 
"The Kāvēri like a tamed female elephant will
regain her normal course in the proper pace only
if when you become supreme Governor, Oh Your
Majesty".

Thus ends the eighth canto of Virakamparāya
çaritam, called Madhurāvijayam, composed by Gangā
Dēvi.
