antarmahīṃ vā yadi vordhvamutpateḥ samudrapāraṃ yadi vā pradhāvasi| tathāpi teṣāṃ na vimokṣamarhasi pramāthino devasutā hi khecarāḥ|||
If you enter the subterreneous pit of the earth or soar up the sky or go to the other shore of the ocean, still you will have no escape from their hands, for it is in the nature of these skyranging offspring of gods to crush enemies.

MBh 3 14.45
त्वं कालरात्रीमिव कश्चिदातुरः किं मां दृढं प्रार्थयसेऽद्य कीचक। श्चन्द्र जिघृक्षुरिव मन्यसे हि माम्॥
tvaṃ kālarātrīmiva kaścidāturaḥ kiṃ māṃ dṛḍhaṃ prārthayase'dya kīcaka| ścandra jighṛkṣuriva manyase hi mām||
Why do you, O Kichaka, desire me today so firmly, just like a sick man who wishes for the night that will put an end to his existence. Why do you solicit me just like a child who lies on its mother's lap wishes to obtain the moon.

MBh 3 14.46
तेषां प्रियां प्रार्थयतो न ते भुवि गत्वा दिवं वा शरणं भविष्यति। न वर्तते कीचक ते दृशा शुभं या तेन संजीवनमर्थयेत् सा॥
teṣāṃ priyāṃ prārthayato na te bhuvi gatvā divaṃ vā śaraṇaṃ bhaviṣyati| na vartate kīcaka te dṛśā śubhaṃ yā tena saṃjīvanamarthayet sā||
There will be nowhere any refuge for you soliciting their beloved wife whether you go to the earth or to the heaven. O Kichaka, you have no eyes that may win for you any good or safety of your life.
