Mṛga–Mṛgī Saṃvāda: Karmakāraṇa and Pūrvajanma-kathana
The Deer and Doe Dialogue on Karma and Past Birth
एतन्मे स्मृतिमापन्नं चरितं तव चात्मतः / भूतं भविष्यं च तथा शृणु भद्रे वदाम्यहम्
etanme smṛtimāpannaṃ caritaṃ tava cātmataḥ / bhūtaṃ bhaviṣyaṃ ca tathā śṛṇu bhadre vadāmyaham
This tale—yours and mine—has returned to my memory; O gentle one, listen also to what was and what shall be, as I now speak.
