शर्मिष्टोवाच यदुक्तमृषिरित्येव तत् सत्यं चारुहासिनि । न्यायतो धर्मतश्चैव चरन्ती न बिभेमि ते,शर्मिष्ठा बोली--मनोहर मुसकानवाली सखी! मैंने जो ऋषि कहकर अपने स्वामीका परिचय दिया था, सो सत्य ही है। मैं न्याय और धर्मके अनुकूल आचरण करती हूँ, अतः तुमसे नहीं डरती
Translation
Śarmiṣṭhā said: “O fair-smiling friend, what I spoke of as ‘a sage’ is indeed true. I act in accordance with justice and with dharma; therefore I do not fear you.”
