Reṇukā-vilāpa and the Aftermath of Jamadagni’s Slaying (अर्जुनोपाख्यान-प्रसङ्गः)
साक्षाद्भक्तो महात्मा च तद्वधे पातकं भवेत् / एवमुक्त्वा महाराज स भृगुर्ब्रह्मणः सुतः / यथागतं ययौ विद्वान्भविष्यत्कालपर्ययात्
sākṣādbhakto mahātmā ca tadvadhe pātakaṃ bhavet / evamuktvā mahārāja sa bhṛgurbrahmaṇaḥ sutaḥ / yathāgataṃ yayau vidvānbhaviṣyatkālaparyayāt
He is a manifest devotee and a great soul; to slay him would be sin. Having spoken thus, O great king, the sage Bhṛgu, son of Brahmā, knowing the coming turns of time, departed as he had arrived.
