ऋषभ उवाच । अकस्मात्किमहो वत्से रोरवीषि विमूढधीः । को जातः कतमो लोके को मृतो वद सांप्रतम्
ṛṣabha uvāca | akasmātkimaho vatse roravīṣi vimūḍhadhīḥ | ko jātaḥ katamo loke ko mṛto vada sāṃpratam
قال رِشَبها: «لِمَ يا بُنَيَّةُ تصرخين فجأةً هكذا وقد اضطرب فهمُك؟ من وُلِد، ومن في هذا العالم—ومن مات؟ أخبريني الآن».
