Look ye. I said neither good nor evil to her. All at once she imprecates death, kicking, and beating upon my son. Such a burnt-foreheaded forehead.

You are all good. There is no one bad. Now from this time forgive one another. All of you go home. Hear me: your conduct is such that no creditable person will come to your house, or eat with you. You are all Rohillas. You are not human beings.
