शिशुपालं समभ्येत्य हृतदारमिवातुरम् ।नष्टत्विषं गतोत्साहं शुष्यद्वदनमब्रुवन् ॥ १० ॥

ITRANS:

śiśupālaṁ samabhyetyahṛta-dāram ivāturamnaṣṭa-tviṣaṁ gatotsāhaṁśuṣyad-vadanam abruvan

Translation:

The kings approached Śiśupāla, who was disturbed like a man who has lost his wife. His complexion was drained of color, his enthusiasm was gone, and his face appeared dried up. The kings spoke to him as follows.

Purport:

Although Śiśupāla had not married Rukmiṇī, he passionately considered her his property, and thus he was devastated, like a man who has lost his beloved wife.
