Translation -
Let the darbha-mani pierce my enemies and those who come to fight with me. Let it also pierce those who wish me evil and those who hate me.
Footnote -
Fully describe what the ‘Darbha-mani’ can do for the protection of a king. From all these verses it is clear that it cannot but be a military weapon of defence with a forceful radiating energy to do all the havoc it is required to do. If a rod of graphite can set in motion the terrible energy to fission the atom, is it not worth trying to see if a small thread of ‘Durbha-grass’ can also do such wonders?
