If he sees me again, I die.
You are wicked; what can I do?
I go. Be well.

एतच् छौण्डीर्ययुक्तं ते मच्छन्दवशवर्तिनः ।
इदानीम् असि मारीचः पूर्वम् अन्यो निशाचरः ॥

Translation
These words are full of courage,
now you bend to my will;
now you are Maricha;
before, you were some other night-ranger.
लीला
यह हुई वीरों वाली बात! अब तुम सचमुच मारीच हो। पहले तो तुम कोई और ही निशाचर थे।
Subtitle
Now you speak like a hero!
Now you are Maricha again;
before, you were some other rakshasa.
