यदि यूयं न चान्यत्र प्रयास्यथ मुनीश्वराः । पलायनपरा भूत्वा तद्गत्वा निजमंदिरम्
yadi yūyaṃ na cānyatra prayāsyatha munīśvarāḥ | palāyanaparā bhūtvā tadgatvā nijamaṃdiram
Wenn ihr, o Herren unter den Munis, nicht anderswohin geht, dann werde ich, auf Flucht bedacht, von hier in meine eigene Wohnung eilen.
Caurā (the thief) (contextual continuation)
