17. Thereupon the gods assembled and said, “Wonderfully (citram) indeed it has fared with us who have slain so many enemies!” Hence the wonderful nature (citratva) of the asterism Citra; and verily wonderfully it fares with him, and he slays his rivals, his spiteful enemy, whosoever, knowing this, sets up his fires under Citra. A Kshatriya, therefore, should especially desire to take advantage of this asterism; since such a one is anxious to strike, to vanquish his enemies.
