Traitor, Chandrika, the demon.
You pushed the husband the father into death!
You demon who sits on the throne! Are our children the victims of your majesty?
You bastard who kills children! You devil! Why do you seek revenge on the rest of the family? Are schoolchildren terrorists?
You who tear our children to pieces, the queen of skulls will think twice about you!
You who destroy the family you have led as a ‘drunkard’!
You who have migrated and are in a hurry to the Vilumundan kingdom!
You who have adopted the philosophy of Buddhism
You who have surrendered the truth to the grave!
You who have gone to the battlefield to make blood sacrifices – you who have sworn to destroy our seeds!
After all this, you traitors who lick leaves in the south! Do you have pride in selling your own mother to survive?
You don’t even need a girdle in your hand! There is pride in running around and begging for food!
