Markandeya said: Commanded by Indrasena, that Shudra ascetic, having gone, informed Dama of his father's death, just as he was supposed to.
तापसेन समाख्याते दमस्तेन पितुर्वधे ।
क्रोधेनातीव जज्वाल हविषेवाग्निरुद्धतः ॥२॥
क्रोधेनातीव जज्वाल हविषेवाग्निरुद्धतः ॥२॥

krodhena atīva jajvāla haviṣā iva agniḥ uddhataḥ
krodhena atīva jajvāla haviṣā iva agniḥ uddhataḥ

When the ascetic fully reported his father's death, Dama thereupon blazed with extreme anger, just like a roused fire (agni) with an oblation.
स तु क्रोधाग्निना धीरे दह्यमानो महामुने ।
करं करेण निष्पिष्य वाक्यमेतदुवाच ह ॥३॥
करं करेण निष्पिष्य वाक्यमेतदुवाच ह ॥३॥

karam kareṇa niṣpiṣya vākyam etat uvāca ha

But he, O great sage, being consumed by the fire of anger, clenched his hands and spoke these words.
अनाथ इव मे तातो मयि पुत्रे तु जीवति ।
घातितः सुनृशंसेन परिभूय कुलं मम ॥४॥
घातितः सुनृशंसेन परिभूय कुलं मम ॥४॥

anāthaḥ iva me tātaḥ mayi putre tu jīvati

My father was slain by an extremely cruel person, as if he were helpless, after that person humiliated my family, even though I, his son, am still alive.
तापं करोम्यहं किंवाप्येष क्लैब्यात्क्षमाम्यहम् ।

Am I to inflict suffering (tāpa), or am I to forgive this out of weakness? We are indeed authorized for the suppression of the wicked and the protection of the virtuous.
पितरं चापि निहतं दृष्ट्वा जीवन्ति शत्रवः ।
तत्किमेतेन बहुना हा तातेति च किं पुनः ॥६॥
तत्किमेतेन बहुना हा तातेति च किं पुनः ॥६॥
6. pitaraṃ cāpi nihataṃ dṛṣṭvā jīvanti śatravaḥ .
tatkimetena bahunā hā tāteti ca kiṃ punaḥ.
tatkimetena bahunā hā tāteti ca kiṃ punaḥ.

tat kim etena bahunā hā tāta iti ca kim punaḥ
tat kim etena bahunā hā tāta iti ca kim punaḥ

And having seen my father slain, the enemies still live. So, what is the use of much talk about this? And why again lament, 'Alas, O father!'?
विलापेनात्र यत्कृत्यं तदेषोऽत्र करोम्यहम् ।
यद्यहं तस्य रक्तेन देहोत्थेन वपुष्मतः ॥७॥
यद्यहं तस्य रक्तेन देहोत्थेन वपुष्मतः ॥७॥

7.
Whatever is to be accomplished here through lamentation, that I will do here. If I [perform the rites] with the blood of that embodied one (vapuṣmat), which is born from his body...

कुर्यां पितुस्तस्य च पिण्डदानं न चेत्प्रवेक्ष्यामि हुताशनं तत् ॥८॥

I will perform that water ritual with his blood, and properly provide a meal for Brahmins (dvija) with his flesh, and also offer rice balls (piṇḍa-dāna) for his father. If I do not, I will enter that fire (hutāśana).

If throngs of Asuras, Devas, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Vidyadharas, and perfected beings (siddha) offer him help, then I, filled with rage, will incinerate all of them as well with hosts of weapons.

Having killed that valueless, unrighteous (adharma), despicable southerner in battle, I will then rule the entire earth. Otherwise, if I do not kill him, I will enter the fire.

Today I will kill that extremely wicked individual, the slayer of old ascetics, the obstructor of righteous acts, the forest-dweller, and the cunning one, along with all his relatives, friends, foot soldiers, elephants, and cavalry.

Here I am, taking up my bow and sword, mounted on my chariot. Having approached the enemy forces, let all the assembled hosts of gods witness the destruction that I will indeed unleash.

Whoever becomes his ally today, joining him again for battle, I am prepared, with my own arms as my army, for the complete annihilation of that very person's entire lineage.

Even if Indra, the thunderbolt-wielding king of gods, and Yama, the lord of ancestors, were to brandish their terrible rod of punishment in wrath in this very battle; and if Kubera, Varuna, and Surya strive to protect him, nevertheless, I will slay him with my excellent, sharp arrows.

May the vultures today be satisfied with the flesh and blood of the person who harmed me, his son, by killing my father – a man whose mind was disciplined, without malice, who lived entirely in the forest, who ate only fallen fruits, and was friendly to all beings.
