Devanagari script
एवं तस्य तदा बुद्धिर्दमयन्त्यां न्यवर्तत । कलिना दुष्टभावेन दमयन्त्या विसर्जने,ऐसा सोचकर उनकी बुद्धि दमयन्तीको अपने साथ रखनेके विचारसे निवृत्त हो गयी। बल्कि दुष्ट स्वभाववाले कलियुगसे प्रभावित होनेके कारण दमयन्तीको त्याग देनेमें ही उनकी बुद्धि प्रवृत्त हुई
Translation
Thinking thus, his mind at that time turned away from the resolve to keep Damayantī with him. Instead, under the baleful influence of Kali and his wicked intent, his judgment was driven toward abandoning Damayantī.
