The Harsh Sound: a past life story9. Kharassarajātaka
When cows were plundered and killed,“Yato viluttā ca hatā ca gāvo,houses burned down, and people abducted,Daḍḍhāni gehāni jano ca nīto;then came the son of she whose son is dead,Athāgamā puttahatāya putto,sounding the harsh drum of war.Kharassaraṁ ḍiṇḍimaṁ vādayanto”ti.
