niśamya - by hearing; ākranditam - crying (because of being stolen); devī - Urvaśī; putrayoḥ - of those two lambs, which she treated as sons; nīyamānayoḥ - as they were being taken away; hatā - killed; asmi - am; aham - I; ku-nāthena - under the protection of a bad husband; na-puṁsā - by the eunuch; vīra-māninā - although considering himself a hero.

Urvaśī treated the two lambs like her own sons. Therefore, when they were being taken by the Gandharvas and began crying, Urvaśī heard them and rebuked her husband. “Now I am being killed,” she said, “under the protection of an unworthy husband, who is a coward and a eunuch although he thinks himself a great hero.”
