यदि मारकोटिनयुतानि समागमेन्सुः कुशलौघसंचयसंचितनरर्षभस्य ।
रोमं न इंजेय कुतो तुवं कृष्णबन्धु प्रतिगच्छ किं विलपेसि निरर्थकेन ॥ ७३ ॥

yadi mārakoṭinayutāni samāgamensuḥ kuśalaughasaṃcayasaṃcitanararṣabhasya |
romaṃ na iṃjeya kuto tuvaṃ kṛṣṇabandhu pratigaccha kiṃ vilapesi nirarthakena || 73 ||

Were nayutas of kotis of Maras assembled, a gathering of able heroes in a pent-up flood, I would not move a hair because of them, much less because of thee, thou Son of Darkness. Go thy way. Why dost thou prate to no purpose? (73)
