bhramati bhavän abalä-kavaläya vaneñu kim atra vicitram
prathayati pütanikaiva vadhü-vadha-nirdaya-bäla-caritram

Translation

“You are wandering from forest to forest simply for the purpose of killing innocent women. What is astonishing about this? By killing Pütanä while still in your infancy, you had already acquainted us with your cruel and merciless nature. Killing women is just a part of your habitual behaviour.”
