[93] The caravan leader Karṇa, too, went to the vicinity of his house and looked at what was destroyed a while since, the remaining heap of bricks bearing the colour of the cemetery. Seeing it, and again thinking: "What is this?" he entered that ruined lying-in chamber. There he saw his wife staying with the female slave. Her face was quite emaciated and wretched, the region of her hips was clothed in a dirty piece of garment, and her limbs were besmeared with masses of filth. Again, having seen her, he said: "Alas! what is this?" and, fainted, fell upon the ground. Being touched by the cold wind he regained consciousness after a while, and having gone up to his wife, began to cry out aloud saying: "What is this?" Then, having received the tidings from his wife, he heaved a long and hot sigh and said: "Surely, I have not performed acts of homage towards those worthy of gifts, whence this misfortune for me. So, what shall I now do here? To whom do I go for refuge? Whose face am I to look upon? Who in the world is compassionate towards the destitute and the wretched? Owing to whom will I cross over this mighty ocean of poverty? Owing to whom shall I wash off such a mire of misfortune? Owing to whom shall I cross over this endless stream of sorrow? Owing to whom, shall I vanquish this enemy of poverty? Owing to whom shall I uproot this creeper of poverty, the source of all sorrows? Owing to whom, shall I root out this tree of poverty? Owing to whom shall I banish this great demon of poverty with its face with the terrible tusks of the pangs of hunger and its frightful roar of "Alas, Alas"? Owing to whom shall I overcome this great wrestler of poverty? Owing to whom shall I extinguish this fire of poverty with its flames kindled by hunger and thirst? Owing to whom shall I tame this great elephant of poverty, haughty with misfortunes? Owing to whom shall I render free from poison this great serpent of poverty with its poison-hiss of the manifold vexations of suffering? Owing to whom shall I ward off this great warrior of poverty that plunders all one’s possessions? Owing to whom shall I sunder this shackle of poverty, tight with every pain? Owing to whom shall I step beyond this prison of poverty? Owing to whom shall I cleave this door-panel of poverty? Owing to whom shall I make this Death of poverty full of despair? Owing to whom shall I pass over this flood of dejection? Owing to whom shall I come out from this great desert of poverty?" He cried out thus in manifold ways in piteous, wretched and faltering words.
