सुवर्णष्ठीविनोपाख्यानम्
The Account of Suvarṇaṣṭhīvin
तदनन्तर शोकसे पड़ित हो उसकी माताएँ रोती हुई उस स्थानकी ओर दौड़ीं, जहाँ राजा सूंजय विलाप करते थे ।। ततः स राजा सस्मार मामेव गतमानस: । तदाहं चिन्तन ज्ञात्वा गतवांस्तस्य दर्शनम्
tataḥ sa rājā sasmāra mām eva gatamānasaḥ | tadāhaṃ cintanaṃ jñātvā gatavāṃs tasya darśanam ||
