अन्तरायं विजानित्वा न सानं खायि राक्षसी ।
सा तत्र पुत्रं प्रेषेति राक्षसीणां निवेदकं ।
भक्षितो खु मया राजा क्षिप्रं आगच्छथत्तवे ॥ ४१ ॥
antarāyaṃ vijānitvā na sānaṃ khāyi rākṣasī |
sā tatra putraṃ preṣeti rākṣasīṇāṃ nivedakaṃ |
bhakṣito khu mayā rājā kṣipraṃ āgacchathattave || 41 ||
Conscious of the risk, she did not set about eating them herself, but sent her son to take the news to the other ogresses and to say, “I have devoured the king. Come hither at once to eat.” (41)
