तासां मध्ये च रोहिण्या सह रेमे स नित्यदा । त्यक्ताः सर्वाश्च चंद्रेण दक्षकन्याः सुदुःखिताः । गत्वा स्वपितरं नत्वा प्राहुरस्राविलेक्षणाः
tāsāṃ madhye ca rohiṇyā saha reme sa nityadā | tyaktāḥ sarvāśca caṃdreṇa dakṣakanyāḥ suduḥkhitāḥ | gatvā svapitaraṃ natvā prāhurasrāvilekṣaṇāḥ
তেওঁলোকৰ মাজত ৰোহিণীৰ সৈতে সি সদায় আনন্দেৰে ৰমণ কৰিছিল। সেয়ে চন্দ্ৰই দক্ষৰ আন সকলো কন্যাক ত্যাগ কৰিলে; তেওঁলোক গভীৰ দুখত পৰিল। তেওঁলোকে পিতৃৰ ওচৰলৈ গৈ প্ৰণাম কৰি, অশ্ৰুসিক্ত নয়নে ক’লে।
