जघ्नुस्ता: पयसा पुत्रांस्तथा पौत्रान् विधुन्वती: । पशूनवेक्षमाणाश्च साधुवृत्तेन दम्पती
Transliteration
jaghnustāḥ payasā putrāṁs tathā pautrān vidhunvatīḥ | paśūn avekṣamāṇāś ca sādhuvṛttena dampatī ||
Translation
অপহৃত গাভীগুলি যখন অন্য পশুদের দেখে, কিন্তু নিজের প্রকৃত স্বামী ও বাছুরদের দেখতে পায় না, তখন দুঃখে কাঁপতে থাকে। আর সেই দিনগুলিতেই, ধার্মিকতার মুখোশ পরে চৌর্যবৃত্তিতে বেঁচে থাকা সেই দম্পতিকে—তাদের পুত্র ও পৌত্রসহ—নিজেদেরই দুধের দ্বারা বিনাশ করল।
