सिञ्चन्तावश्रुधाराभि: स्नेहपाशेन चावृतौ । न किञ्चिदूचतू राजन्बाष्पकण्ठौ विमोहितौ ॥ ११ ॥
siñcantāv aśru-dhārābhiḥ sneha-pāśena cāvṛtau na kiñcid ūcatū rājan bāṣpa-kaṇṭhau vimohitau
স্নেহের বন্ধনে আবদ্ধ হয়ে তাঁরা অশ্রুধারায় প্রভুকে সিঞ্চিত করতে লাগলেন। হে রাজন, তাঁরা বিমূঢ়; অশ্রুতে কণ্ঠ রুদ্ধ হয়ে কিছুই বলতে পারলেন না।
