Devanagari script
अलङ्घनीयं तद्वाक्यं वरुणेनावधीरितम् / अत्यन्तमिति कार्यार्थी विदुषा समुपेक्षितम्
Transliteration
alaṅghanīyaṃ tadvākyaṃ varuṇenāvadhīritam / atyantamiti kāryārthī viduṣā samupekṣitam
Translation
Varuṇa’s utterance was not to be transgressed, yet it was treated with contempt. Deeming it “too extreme,” even the wise man seeking the work’s fulfillment set it aside.
