iti - thus; vāk-sāyakaiḥ - by the arrows of strong words; biddhaḥ - being pierced; pratottraiḥ - by the goads; iva - like; kuñjaraḥ - an elephant; niśi - in the night; nistrimśam - a sword; ādāya - taking in hand; vivastraḥ - naked; abhyadravat - went out; ruṣā - in anger.

Purūravā, stricken by the sharp words of Urvaśī like an elephant struck by its driver’s pointed rod, became very angry. Not even dressing himself properly, he took a sword in hand and went out naked into the night to follow the Gandharvas who had stolen the lambs.
