The line

From being caught in a theft, and from an offense against a king, fierceness comes to be. Its acting is by killing, binding, beating, and the rest.

नेपालीमा

चोरीमा पक्रिनु र राजाविरुद्ध अपराधबाट उग्रता उत्पन्न हुन्छ। यसको अभिनय मार्नु, बाँध्नु, पिट्नु र अरूबाट हुन्छ।

Where it sits

Ugratā (उग्रता). The line reads bhavti (भव्ति) where the verb is 'comes to be.' The sitting keeps that reading. The occasions are arrest for theft and an offense against the king. The acting is the violent deed.
