5.51
Then the sage of Videha reclaimed him,

And held him close as he led him off writhing,

And then, while Nanda's eyes welled with tears,
he separated the crowning glory of his hair

From the royal umbrella of his head.


EH Johnston:
Then the sage of Videha, taking him, kept hold of him and led him off despite his reluctance, and had the Good Fortune of his beautiful hair parted from the royal umbrella of his head ; and all the while his eyes overflowed with tears.

Linda Covill:
Then the sage of Videha took hold of the writhing Nanda, held him close and led him away, and saw to it that his glorious hair was shaven from the royal umbrella of his head, while his eyes streamed with tears.
