इत्येतत् प्रणयात् तात सौभद्र: परवीरहा । कथयामास दुर्थर्षस्तथा चैतन्न संशय:,“तात! शत्रुवीरोंका संहार करनेवाले दुर्धर्ष वीर सुभद्राकुमारने जो प्रेमपूर्वक यह बात कही थी, यह निस्संदेह सत्य होनी चाहिये
ity etat praṇayāt tāta saubhadraḥ paravīrahā | kathayāmāsa durdharṣas tathā caitanna saṁśayaḥ ||
قال فَيْشَمْبَايَنَة: «يا بُنَيّ، هذه هي الكلمات التي قالها ابن سوبهدرا—البطل الذي لا يُقهر، وقاتل أبطال الأعداء—بدافع المودّة. وحقًّا لا شكّ في أن الأمر كذلك.»
