Shloka 11
शल्मलि–पवनसंवादः
The Dialogue of Śalmali and Pavana
Devanagari script
ततः स देहमोक्षार्थ सम्प्रहषष्टेन चेतसा,अभ्यधावत वर्धन्तं पावकं लुब्धकस्तदा । बहेलिया अपने शरीरका परित्याग करनेके लिये मनमें हर्ष और उल्लास भरकर उस बढ़ती हुई आगकी ओर दौड़ पड़ा
Transliteration
tataḥ sa dehamokṣārthaṃ samprahṛṣṭena cetasā, abhyadhāvat vardhantaṃ pāvakaṃ lubdhakas tadā |
Translation
Bhishma said: Then the hunter, his mind filled with joy and exhilaration, ran toward the growing fire, intending to cast off his body. The scene underscores a grim resolve: having decided inwardly to end embodied existence, he moves toward self-destruction rather than turning back to restraint or repentance.
