Devanagari script
यवक्रीत उवाच नायं शक््यस्त्वया बद्धुं महानोघस्तपोधन । अशक्याद विनिवर्तस्व शक््यमर्थ समारभ,यवक्रीतने कहा--तपोधन! यहाँ अगाध जलराशि भरी है; अतः तुम पुल बाँधनेमें सफल नहीं हो सकोगे। इसलिये इस असम्भव कार्यसे मुँह मोड़ लो और ऐसे कार्यमें हाथ डालो जो तुमसे हो सके
Translation
যৱক্ৰীতে ক’লে—হে তপোধন! ইয়াত অগাধ জলৰাশি ভৰিছে; সেয়ে তুমি সেতু বাঁধিবলৈ সক্ষম নহ’বা। সুতৰাং এই অসম্ভৱ কাৰ্যৰ পৰা উভতি আহি যি সম্ভৱ, সেই কাৰ্য আৰম্ভ কৰা।
