evam - thus; kṣipantīm - chastising; śarmiṣṭhā - the daughter of Vṛṣaparvā; guru-putrīm - unto the daughter of the guru, Śukrācārya; abhāṣata - said; ruṣā - being very angry; śvasantī - breathing very heavily; uraṅgī iva - like a serpent; dharṣitā - offended, trampled; daṣṭa-dat-chadā - biting her lip with her teeth.

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: When thus rebuked in cruel words, Śarmiṣṭhā was very angry. Breathing heavily like a serpent and biting her lower lip with her teeth, she spoke to the daughter of Śukrācārya as follows.
