Rāja-prabodhana and Prātaḥ-kṛtya
Awakening of the King and Morning Observances
जमदग्निरुवाच जीवन्नाहं तु दास्यामि वासवस्यापि दुर्मते / गुरुणा याचितं किं ते वचसा नृपतेः पुनः
jamadagniruvāca jīvannāhaṃ tu dāsyāmi vāsavasyāpi durmate / guruṇā yācitaṃ kiṃ te vacasā nṛpateḥ punaḥ
Jamadagni said: “Foolish one, while I yet live I will not give her even to Vasava, Indra. When my guru has been petitioned, what use to you are the king’s words again?”
