विहाय रेवां सुरसिन्धुसेव्यां तत्तीरसंस्थं च हरं हरिं च । उन्मत्तवद्भावविवर्जितस्त्वं क्व यासि रे मूढ दिगन्तराणि

Transliteration

vihāya revāṃ surasindhusevyāṃ tattīrasaṃsthaṃ ca haraṃ hariṃ ca | unmattavadbhāvavivarjitastvaṃ kva yāsi re mūḍha digantarāṇi

Translation

Du verlässt Revā, die selbst von den Göttern verehrt wird, und gibst Hara und Hari auf, die an ihren Ufern weilen—des rechten Empfindens beraubt wie ein Rasender—wohin gehst du, o Tor, in ferne Himmelsrichtungen umherirrend?
