First, the cattle would be taken,
then womenfolk captured,
and lastly, all the men routed.
The whole country would be devastated
to become the haunt of spirits.
This is the fate of the lands
of the hostile princes
who refused to pay tribute
to the Pandya king
who rides a killer elephant—
a terror to the passers-by
who are warned off
by drum beats.
His Conquests
22
Formidable
even in death,
the soldiers lay there
propped up on a dead elephant,
biting their lower lips,
spears held firmly
in position,
refusing still
to give up their land.
And the victorious Pandya king,
holding his flag aloft
and wearing wreaths round his head,
stood looking at them
and felt defeated.
