अनायुधा सायुधाया रिक्ता कषुभ्यसि भिक्षुकि लप्स्यसे परतियॊद्धारं न हि तवां गणयाम्य अहम ॥ १-७३-११ ॥

'As a beggar-woman, you may freely lament, use harsh words, declare your enmity, or unleash your fury. Yet, your tears of anger are futile, for while I have the power to harm you, you lack the means to retaliate. You seek conflict, but remember, I do not consider you my equal!' ॥ 1-73-11 ॥
