Translation
Purūravā, stricken by the sharp words of Urvaśī like an elephant struck by its driver’s pointed rod, became very angry. Not even dressing himself properly, he took a sword in hand and went out naked into the night to follow the Gandharvas who had stolen the lambs.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Purūravā, stricken by the sharp words of Urvaśī like an elephant struck by its driver’s pointed rod, became very angry. He took a sword in hand and without clothing, began pursuing the Gandharvas.
Nistriṁśam is a sword.
