Devaśarmā–Vipula Dialogue on Ahorātra–Ṛtu as Moral Witnesses (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय ४३)
Devanagari script
मायावी हि सुरेन्द्रोडसावहो प्राप्तोडस्मि संशयम् । “दूसरी युवतियोंकी तरह इस गुरुपत्नीकी भी मनुष्योंद्वारा रक्षा नहीं की जा सकती; क्योंकि देवराज इन्द्र बड़े मायावी हैं। अहो! मैं बड़ी संशयजनित अवस्थामें पड़ गया ।।
Translation
Indra, the lord of the gods, is indeed a master of illusion; I cannot cast off my doubt. “Like other young women, even this wife of my teacher cannot be protected by men, for Indra is exceedingly crafty. Alas! I have fallen into a state of grave uncertainty… No—here, the command of the guru must surely be carried out.”
