MBh 3 16.49
सुदेष्णोवाच घातयामि सुकेशान्ते कीचकं यदि मन्यसे। योऽसौ त्वां कामसम्मत्तो दुर्लभामवमन्यते॥
sudeṣṇovāca ghātayāmi sukeśānte kīcakaṃ yadi manyase| yo'sau tvāṃ kāmasammatto durlabhāmavamanyate||
Sudeshana said 50. O you of tresses with curly ends, if it be your will, I shall cause Kichaka to be slain, who maddened with lust, has insulted you utterly incapable of being won by him.

सैन्ध्युवाच अन्ये चैनं वधिष्यन्ति येषामागः करोति सः। मन्ये चैवाद्य सुव्यक्तं यमलोकं गमिष्यति॥
saindhyuvāca anye cainaṃ vadhiṣyanti yeṣāmāgaḥ karoti saḥ| manye caivādya suvyaktaṃ yamalokaṃ gamiṣyati||
Sairandhri said Others whom he has wronged will slay him; I think he will certainly go this very day to the region of Yama (Death).
